PREDNISONE- PREDNISONE TABLET BRYANT RANCH PREPACK ---------- PREDNISONE TABLETS, USP 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, in chloroform, in dioxane, and in methanol. The chemical name for prednisone is pregna-1,4-diene-3,11,20-trione,17,21-dihydroxy- and its molecular weight is 358.43. The structural formula is represented below: Prednisone tablets are available in 3 strengths:10 mg, 20 mg and 50 mg. Inactive ingredients: Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, Lactose Monohydrate, Cellulose Powder, Magnesium Stearate, and Croscarmellose Sodium. 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. INDICATIONS AND USAGE Prednisone tablets are indicated in the following conditions: 1.
