Description
Prednisone 28 x 5mgPrednisone is used alone or with other medications to treat the
symptoms of low corticosteroid levels (lack of certain substances that
are usually produced by the body and are needed for normal body
functioning). Prednisone is also used to treat other conditions in
patients with normal corticosteroid levels. These conditions include
certain types of arthritis; severe allergic reactions; multiple
sclerosis (a disease in which the nerves do not function properly);
lupus (a disease in which the body attacks many of its own organs); and
certain conditions that affect the lungs, skin, eyes, kidneys blood,
thyroid, stomach, and intestines. Prednisone is also sometimes used to
treat the symptoms of certain types of cancer. Prednisone is in a class
of medications called corticosteroids. It works to treat patients with
low levels of corticosteroids by replacing steroids that are normally
produced naturally by the body. It works to treat other conditions by
reducing swelling and redness and by changing the way the immune system
works.
