Description

In this episode:

  • If needed, oral prednisone should still be used but do so judiciously and keep in mind that the risk of osteoporosis is directly linked to cumulative lifetime doses of oral steroid
  • If a patient has more than 1 or 2 exacerbations per year requiring oral steroids, they should be referred for consideration of a biologic agent such as Dupilimab
  • Nobody should be on regular oral steroids without being assessed for eligibility for the use of biologics
