NP PREDNISOLONE TABLET DESCRIPTION: A white to off-white round shaped tablet with score line on one side. COMPOSITION: Each tablet contains Prednisolone 5mg. ACTIONS & PHARMACOLOGY: Prednisolone is an anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid. Glucocorticoids decrease or prevent tissue responses to inflammatory processes, thereby reducing development of symptoms of inflammation without affecting the underlying cause. Glucocorticoids inhibit accumulation of inflammatory cells, including macrophages and leukocytes, at sites of inflammation. They also inhibit phagocytosis, lysosornal enzyme release, and synthesis and/or release of several chemical mediators of inflammation. Prednisolone is readily absorbed from the G.I.T. Plasma concentrations of prednisolone are obtained 1 or 2 hours after oral administration. Prednisolone is extensively bound to plasma proteins. It has a biological half-life lasting several hours. Prednisolone is excreted in the urine as free and conjugated metabolites, together with an appreciable proportion of unchanged prednisolone. Prednisolone crosses the placenta and small amounts are excreted in breast milk. INDICATIONS: Asthma, severe allergic disturbances, leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, collagen diseases and various inflammatory conditions. Nephrotic syndrome, ulcerative colitis, regional ileitis (Crohn's disease) pemphigus, sarcoidosis (especially with hypercalcaemia), rheumatic carditis, ankylosing spondylitis. CONTRAINDICATIONS: In patients with systemic infections unless specific anti-infective therapy is employed. Live-virus immunisation. In patients who are sensitive to prednisolone and its salts. SIDE EFFECTS: Prolonged treatment with corticosteroids in high dosage is occasionally associated with subcapsular cataract, skin thinning, osteoporosis and glaucoma. In addition, any of the features of hypercorticism, such as suppression of the HPA axis, may occur. Aseptic osteonecrosis, particularly of the femoral head, may occur after prolonged corticosteroid therapy, or after repeated short cou Les hele dokumentet
