DESCRIPTION
Prednisolone Syrup (Prednisolone Oral Solution USP) contains
prednisolone which is a glucocorticoid.
Glucocorticoids are adrenocortical steroids, both naturally occurring
and synthetic, which are readily
absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Prednisolone is a white to practically white, odorless, crystalline
powder. It is very slightly soluble in
water; soluble in methanol and in dioxane; sparingly soluble in
acetone and in alcohol; slightly soluble
in chloroform.
The chemical name for prednisolone is
Pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione,11,17,21-trihydroxy-,(11β)-.
Prednisolone Syrup (Prednisolone Oral Solution USP) contains 15 mg of
prednisolone in each 5 mL.
Benzoic acid, 0.1% is added as a preservative. It also contains
alcohol 5% v/v, cherry flavor, citric
acid, edetate disodium, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Red #40, glycerin,
propylene glycol, purified water,
sodium saccharin, and sucrose. Prednisolone Syrup (Prednisolone Oral
Solution USP) may contain
sodium citrate for pH adjustment.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and cortisone),
which also have salt-retaining
properties, are used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical
deficiency states. Their synthetic analogs
such as prednisolone are primarily used for their potent
anti-inflammatory effects in disorders of many
organ systems.
Glucocorticoids such as prednisolone cause profound and varied
metabolic effects. In addition, they
modify the body's immune responses to diverse stimuli.
