Abbreviated New Drug Application
PREDNISOLONE- PREDNISOLONE SOLUTION DIRECT RX ---------- PREDNOSOLONE DESCRIPTION SECTION PREDNISOLONE ORAL SOLUTION 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)- (anhydrous). PREDNISOLONE ORAL SOLUTION contains 15 mg of prednisolone in each 5 mL. Benzoic acid, 0.1% is added as a preservative. It also contains alcohol 5%, citric acid, edetate disodium, glycerin, propylene glycol, purified water, sodium saccharin, sucrose, artificial wild cherry flavor, FD&C blue #1 and red #40. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION 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.
