Autoimmune hepatitis
There is no maximum dosage listed in the literature but the standard dose is usually 1.0 to 1.5 mg/kg/day. (1kg = 2.2 pounds).
Remember that liver enzyme levels may require several months or longer to return to the reference range values.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. This may be a question only your prescribing doctor can answer.
