prednisolone
Synthetic inflammation fighter
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid medication used to reduce inflammation and suppress immune responses.
It treats conditions including asthma, allergies, arthritis, and autoimmune disorders.
Prednisolone is the active form of prednisone—the liver converts prednisone into prednisolone, so prednisolone may be prescribed when liver function is impaired.
