Do any asthmatics take something like oral prednisolone as opposed to inhaled corticosteroids? Is it a recognized standard of treatment if the latter fails or even just a valid alternative per se?

it’s an emergency treatment when you’re so unable to breath even a nebulizer won’t help. it is not a valid alternative to inhaled steroids because it fucks with your entire endocrine system and can lead to long term heart, lung, kidney, and nervous disorders
