Corticosteroid Potency Equivalence and Conversion Calculator

Converts between corticosteroid formulations using relative anti-inflammatory potency, mineralocorticoid activity, biological half-life, and calculates equivalent prednisolone dose for systemic glucocorticoid therapy.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Converts between corticosteroid formulations using relative anti-inflammatory potency, mineralocorticoid activity, biological half-life, and calculates equivalent prednisolone dose for systemic glucocorticoid therapy

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Relative anti-inflammatory potency — The relative anti-inflammatory potency recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Mineralocorticoid activity — The mineralocorticoid activity recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Biological half-life — The biological half-life recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Calculates equivalent prednisolone dose — The calculates equivalent prednisolone dose recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the steroid equivalence result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the relative anti-inflammatory potency, mineralocorticoid activity, biological half-life, calculates equivalent prednisolone dose for the scenario you are assessing. Converts between corticosteroid formulations using relative anti-inflammatory potency, mineralocorticoid activity, biological half-life, and calculates equivalent prednisolone dose for systemic glucocorticoid therapy. Use the steroid equivalence result to inform your calculation.
