#77: prednisolone (Orapred) | Treating Corticosteroid-Responsive Conditions

Prednisone, a synthetic corticosteroid, is prescribed by healthcare professionals to treat inflammatory conditions such as allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and skin disorders. It works by suppressing the immune response and reducing inflammation. Available in various forms, including oral tablets and liquid solutions, prednisone's dosage and duration are tailored to the individual's condition. While effective, long-term use or high doses can lead to side effects like weight gain, mood changes, and increased susceptibility to infections. Careful monitoring by healthcare providers is essential to balance its benefits with potential risks.
