Can you take Prednisone indefinitely for COPD?
Some people don't have a choice with their health issues so they have to take prednisone for an extended period of time. I would not suggest taking prednisone indefinitely unless your condition is extremely bad, and that is your only option. As a short-term medication, prednisone can be extremely beneficial for various condition.
