A member asked:
How do dr's or allergist decide to just treat allergies with prednisone instead of using allergy shots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Prednisone should never be a long term treatment option for allergy. Allergy shots are used when meds and avoidance are not helpful, pt can not tolerate the meds or there is progression of disease.
