Had an asthma attack at the weekend as i could not dress or walk or do anything without breathing being out of control.
Took extra nebs and eventually 8x 5mg prednisolone. This now day 3 and feeling better. Does anyone know how long you can take them for without reducing dose. Many thanks
I’m glad you’re feeling better and all I know is that Pete takes extra pred for around two weeks when he has a chest infection and then starts to drop them back down again. Check with your doctor to be sure though.
Wishing you well. Xxxx
My doctor gives me strict instructions re dosage and tapering . Think you should probably check with doc. That sounds like a really horrible attack. Hope you're getting over it OK now.
Hi I've been taking 15mg of pred in the morning and another 5 mg at 3pm, some days I can barely walk 10 steps without being completely out of breath, also on 2 types of inhalers, one of them 2puffs in morning and one for instant relief. I've been on the pred for about 6 mo.. the strange thing is i usually feel reasonably good for 3 days and then bad for two or three., don't know what's going on.

Hello hopetorun . I think everyone is right, you need to talk to your doctor about tapering. I do hope you feel better very soon. *Hugs*

I an prescribed a pack of 40 5mg prednisolone with the instruction to take 8 daily for 5 days only if having an acute exacerbation of Copd. I very rarely take them as the side effects I've heard about scare me silly.
I know but rather be here. Many thanks
Hi ..of course you do!! I'm sorry if I sounded abrupt. I was just meaning , in response to how long can preds be taken without tapering , I get the dose I mentioned without tapering ... :))
