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.

There is newer research that says tapering is unnecessary after a short burst of pred.: 10 days or less. Prednisone is not always slowly decreased. For patients who are having acute asthma exacerbations, it is often not tapered. Instead, prednisone is given as a short-term, high dose therapy, referred to as burst therapy.
