Pharmacological Category: Glucocorticoid
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone), 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.
Prednisolone is a synthetic adrenocortical steroid drug with
predominantly glucocorticoid properties.
Some of these properties reproduce the physiological actions of
endogenous glucocorticosteroids, but
others do not necessarily reflect any of the adrenal hormones' normal
functions; they are seen only after
administration of large therapeutic doses of the drug. The
pharmacological effects of prednisolone
which are due to its glucocorticoid properties include: promotion of
gluconeogenesis; increased
deposition of
