Mechanism of action

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use only if benefits outweigh risks. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid tablet also known as Deltacortril and Pred Forte. The active ingredient (prednisolone) comes in 5mg, 10mg, 20mg and 40mg strengths. It is used for inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and allergic reaction.
It is a synthetic glucocorticoid: it crosses cell membranes to bind cytoplasmic receptors, regulating gene expression to reduce inflammation and suppress immune activity. Tablets act within 1–2 hours, and how long the effect lasts varies. Do not stop treatment abruptly. After more than three weeks at 5mg or equivalent, withdrawal must be gradual, and disease activity may need clinical assessment while the dose comes down. Prednisolone can affect blood sugar control and may mask the signs of an infection, so mention both to your doctor. It is contraindicated in systemic infection and in hypersensitivity to prednisolone.
