Prednisolone (prednisolone)

Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid.

Prednisolone is used principally as an anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressant agent. Because prednisolone has only minimal mineralocorticoid properties, the drug is inadequate alone for the management of adrenocortical insufficiency. If prednisolone is used in the treatment of this condition, concomitant therapy with a mineralocorticoid is also required.
