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.
Each tablet, for oral administration, contains 5 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg of
prednisone, USP (anhydrous). In
addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients:
anhydrous lactose, colloidal silicon
dioxide, crospovidone, docusate sodium, magnesium stearate and sodium
benzoate.
Prednisone tablets, USP 20 mg also contain FD&C Yellow No. 6.
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.
