PREDNISONE
DESCRIPTION SECTION
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. The chemical name for
prednisone is pregna-
1,4-diene-3,11,20-trione monohydrate, 17,21-dihydroxy-. The structural
formula is
represented below:
C21H26O5 M.W. 358.44
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.
Each tablet, for oral administration, contains 5 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg of
prednisone USP
(anhydrous). In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive
ingredients:
anhydrous lactose, colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, docusate
sodium, magnesium
stearate and sodium benzoate.
Prednisone Tablets USP 20 mg also contain FD&C Yellow No. 6.
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 are primarily used for their potent
antiinflammatory
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.
