Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid medication used to treat a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, such as Asthma, Arthritis, and certain skin disorders. It works by suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation. Prednisone is typically administered orally in tablet form and can have side effects, including weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, and potential mood changes. It's important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

Can alcohol trigger an asthma attack?

My name is DJ Walker & my husband, Bruce, has asthma since age 37. This May 08, the very high tree pollen has triggered another MAJOR breathing issue. His doctor prescribed prednazone (sp?) yesterday for the congestion after a nebulizer treatment last last week did not produce the results he wished for. Last evening, we shared some wine before & with our dinner (red). A couple of hours after dinner, his breathing got even more labored. We then began researching the web TODAY & found on www.webmd.com, the study that was done by the Australia Asthma people that said RED WINE, WHITE WINE, & other alcoholic beverages (especially ones with sulfites--i.e., wine) cause the asthma to worsen.
