Prolonged steroid use often causes obesity and damage to the immune system. Therefore, the dosage of the drug most often decreases gradually.

Prednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid hormone that mimics the natural cortisol action secreted by the adrenal gland when needed. The hormone prednisone suppresses the immune system's activity and thus improves the various inflammatory symptoms. Medicine makes extensive use of steroids in a wide variety of medical conditions. (Autoimmune diseases, cancer, transplant patients, COPD, and a wide range of inflammatory diseases, including COVID-19.) However, steroids have severe side effects from prolonged use. Most importantly - steroids do not cure the disease! They only temporarily suppress the symptoms at the painful cost of sustained damage to the immune system.
