Description

Prednisone 10 mg tablets are a synthetic corticosteroid medication widely used for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. They are prescribed to manage a variety of conditions, including autoimmune disorders, severe allergic reactions, respiratory diseases such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

Prednisone exerts its effects by mimicking the action of cortisol, a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It reduces inflammation by suppressing the immune system’s response to triggers, inhibiting the release of inflammatory chemicals, and reducing swelling.

Common side effects of prednisone include increased appetite, weight gain, insomnia, and mood changes. Long-term use or high doses may lead to more serious adverse effects such as osteoporosis, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and weakened immune function.
