What is this medication? Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication used to treat a wide variety of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. It works by mimicking the effects of hormones your body produces naturally in the adrenal glands to suppress inflammation throughout the body. By decreasing the immune system's response to various diseases, it helps reduce symptoms such as swelling, redness, itching, and severe allergic reactions. These tablets are commonly prescribed for conditions including severe asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and certain blood disorders or cancers. They are also effective in managing chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and helping to prevent organ rejection after a transplant. Prednisone is available in several strengths, including 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg tablets, which allows healthcare providers to adjust the dosage based on the specific medical needs and the severity of the patient's condition.
