dosage of Prednisolone

My father is taking Prednisolone, and normally has to take it quite a lot. The doctors normally put him on a course of Prednisolone nearly a week after it has finished, and most of the time when he does stop taking the drug he seems to get tired and becomes very ill. He then has to put on another dose.

Recently my mother found that if she gave my father a small dose of the prednisolone every morning he seems to get much better. If he begins to take prednisolone on a dialy baisi will this do a lot of daamge to him as it is he is nearly taking it all the time anyway. Are ther people who take the drug on a daily basis and is this dangerous.
