STEROID TAPER CALENDAR
Terms of Use
Last updated: November 13, 2026
1. Agreement
Steroid Taper Calendar (“the tool”) is provided by Tao Lin. By using the tool, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the tool. Before you save or print a calendar, the tool asks you to confirm two things: that you checked the calendar against the prescription, and that you accept these terms.
2. Who the tool is for
The tool is for licensed health care professionals who have already prescribed a steroid taper. It turns that plan into a calendar for the patient. Patients must not use the tool to start, change, or stop a medicine. Patients must follow the directions of their own prescriber.
3. Not medical advice
The tool arranges the doses, dates, and frequencies you enter. It does not recommend a taper, choose a dose, or check that a plan is clinically appropriate. It does not replace clinical judgment, the prescription, or the pharmacy label. Use of the tool does not create a clinician–patient relationship with Tao Lin. No regulator, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has reviewed or cleared the tool.
4. Your responsibility
You are responsible for the prescription and for every value you enter. Before you give a calendar, PDF, or printout to a patient, check every dose, date, tablet count, liquid volume, and frequency against the prescription. Liquid volumes are rounded, and the tool can contain errors. If a calendar and the prescription differ, the prescription applies.
5. No patient information
Do not enter patient names, birth dates, record numbers, or other details that identify a person. The tool is not built to hold or protect health information, and no business associate agreement is offered.
6. Privacy
The tool needs no account. It uses no cookies, analytics, or browser storage. The schedule you enter stays in the page and is cleared when you reload it. Calendars and PDFs are made in your browser and are not sent to a server. The hosting provider can keep standard connection and security logs. You are responsible for any PDF you save and any copy you print.
7. Copyright and permitted use
© 2026 Tao Lin. All rights reserved. The tool, including its design, text, and code, belongs to Tao Lin. You may use the tool at no charge. You may save, print, and share the calendars you make with it for patient care. You may not copy, republish, sell, or present the tool as your own work without written permission from Tao Lin.
The tool includes the pdf-lib library, which is used under the MIT License.
8. No affiliation
The tool is an independent personal project. No hospital, university, employer, or drug manufacturer is affiliated with it, sponsors it, or endorses it.
9. Links to other sites
The tool links to patient information from other organizations. Tao Lin does not control those sites and is not responsible for their content.
10. No warranty
The tool is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This includes warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Tao Lin does not promise that the tool is free of errors or that it will always be available.
11. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Tao Lin is not liable for any loss, injury, or damage that results from use of the tool or from a calendar made with it. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, special, and consequential damages. You use the tool at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these limits. In those places, the limits apply as far as the law allows.
12. Changes
The tool can change or stop at any time. These terms can change too, and the date at the top of this page shows the latest version. If you use the tool after a change, you accept the new terms.
13. Governing law
The laws of the State of New York, USA, govern these terms, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
