"This medication is my magic bullet, my asthma has been under control for nearly five years after being introduced to prednisolone. It is fantastic. I only take it between 7-9 am as my Doctor informed me that it would affect the natural Cortisol production and possibly lead to problems sleeping. Love it."

"I take prednisolone for acute asthma. Usually a few times a year 40 mg for 5 days. It works the best for me and it works quickly. I got hot flashes the first night and some irritability for a day or two after my last dose. So worth it for me. I wish I could take it long term."

"My experience has been brilliant. Asthma worsening and very scary. Ventolin use getting closer and closer together & terrifying nights of wheezing and coughing and awful upper chest rattles & no sleep. After one- yes one- dose of prednisolone, I started feeling better after about 4 hours and was able to sleep during the night. Waking a few times but quickly back to sleep- without needing an inhaler. Today I have coughed a fair bit, but no wheezing & am able to recline much further without chest tightening up. Very, very pleased!"
