UWorld CCS: Tapering medications

[Mr Derp]

For some cases, such as the peds asthma, COPD, and PCP PNA in HIV+ pt, the explanation mentions starting steroids and gradually tapering. Am I missing something, or is it not possible to taper medications in the software? Additionally, for many medications it recommends how long to treat the pt. Again, is it possible to dictate how long a pt receives a certain therapy? All I see for options is 'continuous' or 'one-time' and the route of delivery. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help!

I don't remember an option for medication tapering in the actual software. I'm pretty sure it was either continuous or one-time.
