Has anyone ever taken prednisolone for herxing?

I found a spot online that said people with syphillus should have it to help with the herx.

I'm sorry I don't have the URL.

here is something similiar:

Is this something over the counter or a drug?

Sorry if this has already been discussed--I missed it.
