Prednisone is an inexpensive drug used to treat asthma, allergies, and arthritis. It is more popular than comparable drugs. Prednisone is only available as a generic drug; all brands have been discontinued. It is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.
