Description
Prednisone 20 mg tablets are a corticosteroid medication commonly used for its anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiallergic effects. Prednisone works by suppressing the immune system and inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This makes it effective in the treatment of various conditions, including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, and allergic reactions.
Each tablet contains 20 mg of prednisone as the active ingredient, and the tablets are typically scored for ease of division. Prednisone is commonly prescribed for the management of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, and other inflammatory diseases.
Long-term use of prednisone, however, can lead to significant side effects, including weight gain, osteoporosis, hyperglycemia, and increased susceptibility to infections. To mitigate these risks, the dosage is often carefully tapered down after achieving the desired therapeutic effect.
