Description:

Wysolone 10 mg contains Prednisolone, a corticosteroid that is used to treat various conditions involving inflammation, allergies, and immune system disorders. As a glucocorticoid, it works by suppressing the immune response and reducing inflammation. This helps in managing conditions that involve overactive immune responses, such as autoimmune diseases, and in controlling inflammation in other health conditions.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other inflammatory disorders.

• Allergic Reactions:

  • Used to treat severe allergies or skin reactions.

• Autoimmune Disorders:

  • Conditions like multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis.

• Respiratory Issues:

  • Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other pulmonary diseases.

• Endocrine Disorders:

  • To treat adrenal insufficiency (e.g., Addison’s disease) when the body doesn’t produce enough corticosteroids.

• Cancer Treatment:

  • Used to reduce inflammation and side effects of chemotherapy.

• Eye Diseases:

  • Treatment for certain eye conditions such as uveitis.

• Gastrointestinal Disorders:

  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.

Dosage & Administration:

• Typical Starting Dose:

  • 10 mg daily (depending on condition and severity).

  • Dosage may be adjusted based on response to therapy and the condition being treated.

⚠ Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:

• Category C in pregnancy: Use only if the benefits outweigh the risks.

• Consult your healthcare provider if pregnant or breastfeeding. ⚠ Underlying Health Conditions:

• Diabetes: Monitor blood sugar levels as this drug can raise blood sugar.

  ⚠ Live Vaccines: Avoid live vaccines while taking corticosteroids due to weakened immune response.

Drug Interactions:

• NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin): Increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers.

• Antidiabetic medications: May need adjustments as Prednisolone can raise blood sugar levels.

• Blood pressure medications: May interfere with the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.

• Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): May affect the effectiveness of blood thinners.
