About Steroid Taper Calculator APK
Table Of Contents
Description
The primary features of the Steroid Taper App are:1) Calculates a taper of steroids by a fixed dose.
2) Calculates a taper of steroids by a fixed percentage of the previous dose.
3) Allows the user to create a manual pill taper by specifying the pill strength, number of pills and duration of each step of the taper.
4) Allows the user to create a manual liquid taper by specifying the liquid concentration, dose volume and duration of each step of the taper.
5) Creates an easy-to-read, patient-friendly calendar from any of the above tapers that can be emailed and printed.
6) Creates an easy-to-read summary of the taper to facilitate review by the user.
7) Creates tapers for the most common pill and liquid forms of steroids (predniSONE and prednisoLONE, respectively)
The Steroid Taper App also has the following features:
1) Allows entry of patient height and weight to alert the user if starting steroid dose is above 3mg/kg (higher than standard outpatient regimens)
2) Calculates body surface area to determine at what dose taper should be slowed down due to potential adrenal insufficiency (“adrenal point”).
3) Allows entry of height and weight in either metric and English units
4) Rounds pill doses to nearest half pill, except for 1mg pills, which cannot be split.
5) Rounds liquid doses to volumes easily measured by families at home. (Nearest 0.2ml for doses 0-1 ml, nearest 0.5 ml for doses 1-10 ml and nearest 1 ml for doses greater than 10 ml)
6) Allows user to select up to two pill strengths of prednisone per taper.
7) Allows user to set a loading dose (strength and duration)
8) Generates a “pharmacy summary” that calculates the total number of predniSONE pills or total volume of prednisoLONE liquid needed for each 30 day period.
Notes about App operation/limitations:
1) Printing: The App creates a pdf or image of the calendar. If your mobile device is set up to communicate with a printer, then it can be printed that way. Otherwise, the output can be emailed and subsequently printed from a computer with printer access.
2) In order to remain HIPAA compliant, the App does NOT have fields for entering patient identifying information.
3) App output does NOT sync with mobile device calendars.
4) Only one or two pill sizes are allowed per step of pill-based tapers.
5) When calculating a taper by a fixed percentage, if the App calculates that the dose will repeat for two consecutive taper periods, the App will terminate the taper after the first of the duplicate taper periods.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
