DESCRIPTION
PredniSONE Tablets contain prednisone which is a glucocorticoid.
Glucocorticoids are adrenocortical
steroids, both naturally occurring and synthetic, which are readily
absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tract. Prednisone is a white to practically white, odorless,
crystalline powder. It is very slightly soluble
in water; slightly soluble in alcohol, chloroform, dioxane, and
methanol.
The chemical name for prednisone is pregna-1,4-diene-3,11,20-trione
monohydrate,17,21-dihydroxy-.

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
are primarily used for their potent anti-inflammatory effects in
disorders of many organ systems.
Glucocorticoids cause profound and varied metabolic effects. In
addition, they modify the body's
immune responses to diverse stimuli.
