Prednisone is indicated for patients with widespread inflammation who are very uncomfortable. Wet compresses are still used even if the patient requires prednisone. A typical dose of prednisone for the average size adult is prednisone 20 mg twice a day for 7-10 days followed by 20 mg a day in the morning for 3 days. That program should be adequate to treat most cases of poison ivy. Patients treated with steroid dose packs in which the dosage of prednisone or a similar oral steroid is rapidly decreased over several days will probably respond. However others may not improve or even get worse with this low dose rapid taper program.
