[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Yes cyclone(prednisolone) is an oral steroid and has many systemic side effects.However, a short course (5 days) is not very harmful and prescribed in many allergic conditions if other anti allergy medications especially local steroids' antihistamine (levocetrizine etc.) have failed to provide relief. So please discuss your fears with your doctor and if that is the last alternative treatment for your condition then do go ahead with it. Hope I have answered your query. Wishing you good health.
