Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication commonly used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. It is prescribed to treat a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, allergic reactions, asthma, and certain types of cancer. Prednisone works by mimicking the effects of cortisol, a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands, helping to decrease swelling, redness, and immune activity. 

  • Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid used to treat inflammation and overactive immune responses
  • It mimics cortisol, a hormone made by the adrenal glands, to regulate inflammation and stress responses
  • Dosage varies depending on the condition being treated, ranging from short bursts to long-term use

  • Prednisone Tablets Side Effects

    Prednisone tablets side effects may include the following:

    Common side effects may include increased appetite, weight gain, fluid retention, and mood changes such as irritability, anxiety, or euphoria. Some individuals may experience difficulty sleeping (insomnia), elevated blood pressure, or increased blood sugar levels, which can be especially concerning for patients with diabetes. Gastrointestinal symptoms like stomach upset, heartburn, or peptic ulcers may also occur.

    With long-term use, prednisone can cause more serious side effects such as osteoporosis (weakened bones), muscle weakness, thinning of the skin, delayed wound healing, and easy bruising. The medication may also suppress the body’s ability to produce natural cortisol, leading to adrenal insufficiency if stopped abruptly. Other rare but serious effects include increased risk of infections, vision problems like cataracts or glaucoma, and psychiatric symptoms such as mood swings, depression, or hallucinations.
