xSone Taper Handout Builder

A pharmacist-friendly, client-side web app for creating clear prednisone/prednisolone taper schedules that are easy to follow and print.

Why this exists

Medication labels can become long and confusing when tapers are complex. This tool creates a clean, day-by-day handout with checkboxes so patients can track progress without decoding a label.

Features

• Auto taper generator with configurable step length and reduction style.
• Manual review/edit of every taper step before generating the handout.
• Printable output with minimal ink usage and a checkbox for each day.
• Date or dateless schedules (calendar dates optional).
• Prednisone, prednisolone, or dexamethasone selection (Solone/Sone).
• Multiple tablet strengths supported with custom strength entry.
