How Omnacortil 5 Tablet works

Prednisolone suppresses inflammation and calms an over-active immune response throughout the body.

How to take Omnacortil 5 Tablet

Take as directed by the physician, do not stop abruptly, avoid alcohol consumption

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause weight gain, high blood sugar, bone thinning and suppression of the body's own steroid production when it is taken over a prolonged period. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Omnacortil 5 Tablet

  • Mood change
  • Indigestion
  • Fluid retention

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Omnacortil 5 Tablet

Alcohol may worsen the side effects of this medicine. Limit it.
PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

DrivingSAFE

KidneyCAUTION

LiverCAUTION

Warnings and precautions

Never stop a course of more than a few days suddenly. Your body stops making its own steroid while you take these, and abrupt withdrawal can cause a dangerous collapse. Your doctor will taper the dose. Tell any doctor treating you that you take steroids, and say so urgently if you develop a serious infection, injury or need surgery — you may need a higher dose to cope. Steroids raise blood sugar. If you have diabetes, monitor it more closely during a course. Long-term use thins bones, raises the risk of infection, cataract and glaucoma. Your doctor will monitor and may add bone protection. Chickenpox and measles can be severe in people on steroids — seek advice promptly after any contact.

Do not take Omnacortil if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with an untreated systemic infection, except where the steroid is part of the treatment.

Interactions with other medicines

Anti-inflammatory painkillers together with steroids markedly raise the risk of stomach bleeding. Live vaccines are generally avoided during significant steroid treatment.

How to store Omnacortil 5 Tablet

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.

Quick tips for Omnacortil 5 Tablet

  • Take the whole daily dose in the morning with food, unless your doctor directs otherwise.
  • This suits the body's own rhythm and helps you sleep.
  • Carry a steroid card or note if you are on a long course.
  • Watch your salt, sugar and weight during the course.
