Medical - Medical (general) / Clinical trials
English term or phrase: about a week or so left of steroid taper
Contexto: The patient was seen again and reported that there was **about a week or so left of steroid taper** and that his breathing was substantially better.

Embolei-me a mim mesma com a palavra "left"
Está relacionada a "week" ou "steroid taper"?

Tradução correta seria "diminuiu a dose de esteroide"?

Muito TIA

havia cerca de uma semana que tinha deixado a redução de esteróides


Explanation:

Coloco outra sugestão de tradução, pois me pareceu pela leitura que a redução de esteroides já havia terminado há mais ou menos uma semana e não faltava uma semana para terminar.

Por favor, verifiquem qual seria o entendimento mais correto no caso, pois também fiquei na dúvida.

Quando faltar cerca de uma semana para acabar os esteroides, reduza gradualmente a dose...


Explanation:
Left = restando, faltando. Ajudaria ter a frase completa, mas o taper aqui é verbo.
