Have you talked to your GI about the change of medications? If not, then I recommend you at least talk to him or her. Your doc is there to help you achieve remission and if you switch things up without their knowledge how can they further help you? And besides that many GI's might find an unauthorized switch as non compliance whether or not you are seeing an improvement.
However, if you did this with your GI consent and while on pred which can help you achieve remission it's more or less just a bandaid. You need to find a regime that works well even if you were to stop steroids.
What is the extent of your UC?
