Prednisone

Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. It is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, asthma, allergic reactions, and autoimmune disorders. By mimicking natural steroid hormones, Prednisone helps control swelling, redness, and pain associated with inflammatory diseases. It is available in tablet and liquid forms, with dosages varying based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment.

While effective, Prednisone should be taken under medical supervision, as prolonged use may cause side effects such as weight gain, increased blood sugar, or weakened bones. Gradual dose reduction is recommended to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Prednisone remains a crucial treatment option for managing chronic and acute inflammatory conditions.
