Generally speaking, this is nonsensical. However, there may be exceptions when a highly trained specialist would use combinations of drugs which otherwise seem to be inappropriate. If the two prescriptions are coming from two different doctors, the patient should clarify with each to determine which should be used.
Take all prescriptions (singly or in combination) only as prescribed.

How do you relieve your asthma when it is really bad and an inhaler and steroids for it do not work?
When you say inhaler and steroids do not work, I assume you are talking about steroids like Advair. If that is the case oral steroids are the answer, at least that is what I use. Prednisone or prednisolone. Some professionals believe prednisolone is more effective. It is 20% stronger. Example: 8mg prednisolone equals 10mg prednisone. In effect your liver converts prednisone into prednisolone, or so it was explained to me. However, you don't want to use either on a regular basis if you can help it. The long term side effects are not so nice.

Is Prednisone an anabolic steroid?
No, prednisone is not an anabolic steroid. Anabolic steroids are derived from androgens like testosterone and drive processes in the body that build tissue such as muscle mass, etc. Just to get the terminology down: anabolism is the part of metabolism that promotes growth, while catabolism is the part that promotes the breakdown of substrates to provide energy. Prednisone is considered a catabolic hormone, although it is not commonly discussed in these terms. Prednisone is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone cortisol, which is a stress hormone that drives the breakdown of muscle to help raise blood sugar under certain circumstances.
