Why is Prednisolone Dispersible prescribed?

Prednisolone Dispersible is a corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. It helps reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system in disorders such as asthma, arthritis, allergic reactions, inflammatory bowel disease, and certain blood or bone marrow disorders.

It is also prescribed for adrenal insufficiency, where the body does not produce enough cortisol. In some cases, it may be used to manage symptoms of certain types of cancers.

What does it do?

Prednisolone works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. It mimics cortisol, a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands, helping to control swelling, redness, and allergic reactions. This makes it effective for treating autoimmune diseases, asthma, arthritis, and other allergic conditions.

How should I take it?

Take Prednisolone exactly as prescribed, as your doctor may adjust your dose based on your condition. Do not take more or less than recommended. Sometimes, it is taken every other day, so follow dosing instructions carefully. Here are several general guidelines to keep in mind:

• Let the tablet dissolve in your mouth without chewing, swallowing as it dissolves. You may drink water to assist, but it is not necessary.
• Your dosage may need adjustments during periods of stress, illness, or medical emergencies. Prednisolone can affect medical test results, so make sure to notify healthcare providers that you are taking it.
• Do not stop taking Prednisolone suddenly, follow your doctor’s tapering instructions to discontinue it safely.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Prednisolone, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take double or extra doses to make up for the missed one.
