Allergic conditions (e.g., rhinitis, urticaria), inflammatory disorders (e.g., asthma exacerbations, arthritis, dermatitis), autoimmune conditions as prescribed

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by suppressing immune cell activity and decreasing production of inflammatory mediators. It helps relieve swelling, redness, itching and allergic symptoms.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, preferably with food or after meals to reduce stomach upset. Take at the same time each day; do not stop suddenly—dose should be tapered under medical supervision.

Increased appetite, weight gain, indigestion, nausea, mood changes, insomnia, headache, increased blood sugar, fluid retention, raised blood pressure

Prescription steroid: use only under medical advice. Do not stop abruptly (risk of adrenal suppression). Long-term/high-dose use may cause osteoporosis, cataract/glaucoma, infections, stomach ulcer/bleeding, mood changes, and growth suppression in children. Use caution in diabetes, hypertension, peptic ulcer disease, glaucoma, osteoporosis, liver disease, thyroid disorders and in elderly. Avoid exposure to infections (e.g., chickenpox/measles); seek medical help if exposed. Live vaccines generally should be avoided during immunosuppressive doses.

NSAIDs (ulcer/bleeding risk), anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), antidiabetics/insulin (may need dose adjustment), antihypertensives/diuretics (electrolyte changes), CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) increase levels, CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine) reduce effect, vaccines (reduced response; avoid live vaccines at high doses)
