Description: Prednisolone is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. It is used to treat various conditions such as arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and allergic disorders.

Key features: Prednisolone is available in oral forms, including tablets, liquid, and disintegrating tablets. It works by mimicking the effects of cortisol, a hormone released by the adrenal glands.

Side effects: Common side effects include weight gain, mood changes, insomnia, and increased blood pressure. Long-term use can lead to thinning skin, easy bruising, and changes in body fat distribution.

Caution: Prednisolone should not be used if you have a fungal infection. It can also weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. You should not stop taking it suddenly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Follow your doctor’s instructions for tapering the dose.
