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

properties, are used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical

are primarily used for their potent anti-inflammatory effects in

addition, they modify the body’s
immune responses to diverse stimuli.
