Percentage taper schedule rounded to tablets: reduction day selection · case 05

The first reduction happens on day 0, so the starting dose is never given.

Case contract

Input {start_mg, step_pct, every_days, min_mg, tablet_mg, days}. Day 0 uses start_mg. On each day d > 0 with d % every_days == 0 (while the dose is non-zero), the dose becomes current*(100-step_pct)/100 rounded half-up to a tablet_mg multiple; if that does not lower the dose, it is lowered by one tablet_mg instead; a result below min_mg stops the taper (0). Return the list of daily doses for days days.

Why this case matters

Tapers compound percentage reductions with dispensing granularity; stepping day, rounding and stop rules are distinct decisions.
