Prednisolone 5 mg (Predsomed)

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that may be used to reduce inflammation and calm down an overactive immune system. It works by mimicking the effects of cortisol, a hormone released by the adrenal glands (located on top of the kidneys) that regulates metabolism and stress. Prednisolone prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

Prednisolone is used to treat many different inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, allergic disorders, gland (endocrine) disorders, and conditions that affect the skin, eyes, lungs, stomach, nervous system, or blood cells.

Prednisolone has predominantly glucocorticoid activity, which means it mainly affects our immune response and reduces inflammation, rather than affecting the body’s balance of electrolytes and water (this is called mineralocorticoid activity).

Warnings
You should not use prednisolone if you have a fungal infection anywhere in your body.

prednisone vs prednisolone Difference ??

Official answer. The main difference between prednisone and prednisolone is that prednisone must be converted by liver enzymes to prednisolone before it can work. In people with severe liver disease, prednisolone is usually preferred.
