4 mg methylprednisolone is equivalent to 5 mg prednisolone.
To convert 15 mg of prednisolone to ml, you would need to know the concentration of the prednisolone solution. The conversion would depend on the concentration of the solution (mg/ml). The formula to use is: Volume (ml) = Amount (mg) / Concentration (mg/ml).
Yes. For precise measurement, a pill splitter should be used. (These can be purchased at almost any local pharmacy for just a few dollars.) Long-acting tablets should not be split. However, a 5 mg prednisolone tab may be split.
No, tobramycin and prednisolone are not the same drug.

Not suddenly pulled out. By the Prednisolone, is slightly better for cats than Prednisone, despite the similarities.

I take 5mg of Prednisone every day and It hasn't killed me yet. however prednisone is a drug that has some side effects if taken constantly. 5 mg is a relatively low dose.
It is possible to take these medications together.Ê It would be best to have you doctor check the dosages and be sure that your body can tolerate any side effects.
Depends on the animal. Horses cannot convert prednisone to predinisolone, so prednisolone is the drug of choice.
