When a brief ( 3 weeks) prednisone burst is given for an acute asthma exacerbation, it may not always be necessary to taper the prednisone dose as long as the ICS dose is increased correspondingly. This strategy should not be used in patients with asthma who require daily prednisone or frequent bursts of prednisone for asthma control.
