I've noticed that my peek flow has gone down since I finished a 7 day course of predesilone Steroid tablets is this normal ??

And will it bounce back .

I'm on a powder inhaler at the moment .

If your peak flow is still showing a downward trend I would see your GP. If your phlegm is green, then you will have an infection and will need antibiotics to clear it up.

This is normal, same thing happened to me the last time I took prednisolone. The steroid tablets are much stronger than the inhaler, peak flow does drop slightly after the course is finished
