Do you have to use prednisone in serious cases like asthma attacks or can you stick with flovent or ventolin?

Yes, if your albuterol is not helping during a severe asthma attack. Ventolin (albuterol) is the rescue medication meant for most asthma attacks. During an acute exacerbation, most clinicians (you need to create an action plan with your physician) recommend 2 inhalations of albuterol every 20 minutes. If after 3 cycles there is no improvement, call 911 or get to the ER. Most people with asthma have oral prednisone at home that they are instructed to take at this time as well. Flovent is a corticosteroid that is meant to prevent asthma exacerbations only. Using Flovent during an acute attack will not help you.
