View company portfolio →What Preloid (Prednisolone) is used for
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid, a type of steroid medicine. It is not the same as the anabolic steroids some people misuse for muscle building. It works like the stress hormones the body makes in the adrenal glands: it brings down inflammation (swelling and redness) and calms an overactive immune system. It is a prescription medicine that comes as tablets, soluble tablets and a liquid to swallow. In hospital it can also be given as an injection.
- Allergies and allergic reactions
- Severe asthma that has not been controlled by steroid inhalers
- Rheumatoid arthritis and some other types of arthritis
- Inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease
- Inflammation of the arteries and some kinds of liver inflammation
- Some skin diseases, including pemphigus (a rare, serious blistering skin condition)
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance for signs of a severe allergic reaction: sudden swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue or throat, struggling to breathe or wheezing, a tight throat, blue, grey or pale skin or lips, or sudden confusion, drowsiness or fainting.
- Go to the emergency department straight away if you vomit blood, or your vomit is black or dark brown.
- Get emergency help for any thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life.
- Contact a doctor urgently for mood or mind changes: low mood, very high mood or mood swings, anxiety, confusion, memory loss, seeing or hearing things that are not there, or strange or frightening thoughts. These can start soon after starting and are more likely at higher doses.
