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,
chloroform, dioxane, and methanol.
The chemical name for prednisone is pregna-1,4-diene-3,11,20-trione
monohydrate,17,21-dihydroxy-. The structural formula is represented

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.
