Daniel has been on 60 mg of prednisone for 10 days to treat a severe asthma exacerbation. It is time to discontinue the prednisone. How is prednisone discontinued?

1. Patients with asthma are transitioned directly off the prednisone onto inhaled corticosteroids.
2. Prednisone can be abruptly discontinued with no adverse effects.
3. Develop a tapering schedule to slowly wean Daniel off the prednisone.
4. Substitute the prednisone with another anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen.
