Hello Thanks for query. Your problem of ED is due to prolonged use of Prednisolone .
Prolonged use of Predinoslone leads to reduced secretion of Testosterone by testicles which is the main hormone involved in process of sexual desire and erection.
It takes 2-3 weeks for recovery after you taper off dose of Prednisolone. from your body. Dr.Patil.
