HOW PRISOLONE WORKS
Prisolone belongs to a group of medicines
called steroids, which occur naturally in the
body. It is a medicine to treat various
illnesses involving inflammation in the
body, by reducing this inflammation.

if you have: systemic sclerosis (an
autoimmune disorder). Taking daily doses
of 15mg or more may increase the risk of a
serious complication called scleroderma
renal crisis which may cause your blood
pressure to increase and reduce urination.
Tell your doctor before you start if
you have:
- heart failure or high blood pressure
- diabetes
- kidney or liver function impairment
- inflammation in the large intestines
- muscle weakness
- underactive thyroid gland which can
cause tiredness or weight gain

closely observed.

_Taking other medicines_

blood clots) and salicylates (for pain) may be
reduced.
