Why would I be told by my doctors that I cannot take it all the time when it is the only thing that works on my emphysema I've had for 15yrs?

It's like that only want me to take it for "emergencies" 3-5 days max - but it's the only thing that lets me walk around my home like a regular person!

Without them I have maybe 1wk or less a month. The rest of the time I'm too breathless to get out of bed!

Thank you.

Hello, Reina! How are you?

Prednisone is classified by the FDA as a steroid and it has quite a few medical uses, such as treating severe allergic reactions, reducing inflammation or treating immunity disorders.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, fluid retention and weight gain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
