Prednisone is generic: Prednisone is a generic drug. It has lots of bad side effects when used chronically. The best bet is to talk to your primary care doctor or pulmonologist about your asthma symptoms.

Yes: I am wondering if you are on any daily medication for your asthma already? If the Prednisone helped, you may benefit from an inhaled steroid medication on a daily basis to better control your asthma symptoms.

Generic Medication: Prednisone has a generic. However, you did not present your history. How long have you taken Prednisone and for condition. You did not say whether your doctor gave you a tapering dose.Prednisone has to be tapered to a lower dose and then discontinued.
