Summary
The objective of the investigators pilot study is to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of
two corticosteroid drugs, prednisone and prednisolone, in children who present to the
pediatric emergency department with an asthma exacerbation. The investigators hypothesis is
that the pharmacokinetic profile in this population will be similar to healthy children and
adults.
