Available at <strong>5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg and 40 mg<\/strong>. Used across a very wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions (asthma, COPD exacerbations, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, vasculitis, IBD flares, allergic reactions, polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arteritis, and many more). Dose and duration depend entirely on the condition. <strong>Never stop suddenly after more than 2&ndash;3 weeks of daily use<\/strong> &mdash; abrupt withdrawal can precipitate adrenal crisis because the drug suppresses the body&#39;s own cortisol production (HPA-axis suppression). Always taper under medical supervision. Common side effects include weight gain, fluid retention, mood change, insomnia, raised blood sugar, raised blood pressure, bone loss (osteoporosis), cataract and glaucoma, and increased infection risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- medsbase-specialist-strip --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:16px 20px;margin:0 0 24px 0;border-radius:4px;font-size:14px;\"><strong>\u2695 Medicament sub supraveghere specializat\u0103 \u2014 necesit\u0103 monitorizare clinic\u0103.<\/strong> Acesta este un medicament imunomodulator serios cu cerin\u021be specifice de screening pre-tratament, avertismente black-box \u0219i monitorizare obligatorie \u00een laborator.

Glucocorticoids are the most powerful broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs available, with effects across almost every tissue and organ system.<\/p>\n<p>Predniheal is Healing Pharma&#8217;s branded generic prednisolone \u2014 a widely-stocked alternative to Wysolone across the same 5&ndash;40 mg ladder. The 40 mg strength is particularly useful for high-dose induction in vasculitis, autoimmune flares, and nephrotic syndrome where a patient would otherwise need to take multiple 20 mg tablets. Prednisolone has mostly glucocorticoid (anti-inflammatory) activity and minimal mineralocorticoid (fluid-retaining) activity, so it is preferred over hydrocortisone when the goal is to suppress inflammation rather than replace adrenal function. Prednisolone 5 mg is the standard reference dose. The physiological daily cortisol output of a healthy adult is approximately 5&ndash;7.5 mg prednisolone per day &mdash; any dose above that is &ldquo;supraphysiological&rdquo; and begins to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Predniheal Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Prednisolone enters cells, binds the <strong>intracellular glucocorticoid receptor<\/strong>, and the receptor-drug complex translocates to the nucleus where it alters transcription of hundreds of genes. The end result is a broad dampening of the inflammatory cascade:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines<\/strong> (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-&alpha;, IFN-&gamma;) and chemokines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stabilises lysosomal membranes<\/strong>, reducing release of proteolytic enzymes into tissue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inhibits phospholipase A<sub>2<\/sub><\/strong> via lipocortin, cutting off the prostaglandin and leukotriene pathways upstream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduces capillary permeability<\/strong> and tissue oedema.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suppresses B- and T-lymphocyte function<\/strong> and circulating lymphocyte counts (relative lymphopenia).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduces eosinophil and basophil activity<\/strong>, partially explaining the rapid effect in asthma, allergy and eosinophilic conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clinical onset: symptomatic relief within <strong>hours to 1&ndash;2 days<\/strong> for most inflammatory conditions.

When treatment lasts long enough for suppression to set in, the adrenal glands atrophy and need weeks to months to recover. If the drug is stopped abruptly, the patient has no cortisol &mdash; a life-threatening adrenal crisis can follow.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Courses shorter than 2&ndash;3 weeks<\/strong> at any dose &mdash; can usually be stopped without a taper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Any course longer than 3 weeks<\/strong>, sau <strong>any course above 40 mg\/day<\/strong> for more than 1 week &mdash; requires a supervised taper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reducere treptat\u0103 tipic\u0103<\/strong>: reduce by 10&ndash;20% of current dose every 1&ndash;2 weeks until reaching physiological replacement (approximately 5&ndash;7.5 mg prednisolone per day), then smaller steps of 1 mg every 2&ndash;4 weeks. Total taper duration depends on original course length.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dac\u0103 apar simptome de sevraj<\/strong> (oboseal\u0103, grea\u021b\u0103, dureri articulare, ame\u021beli, revenirea bolii), reveni\u021bi la nivelul anterior \u0219i reduce\u021bi doza mai \u00eencet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>After long courses (&gt; 3 months)<\/strong>, HPA recovery may take 6&ndash;12 months.

Rough equivalents: <strong>hydrocortisone 20 mg &asymp; prednisolone 5 mg &asymp; methylprednisolone 4 mg &asymp; dexamethasone 0.75 mg &asymp; betamethasone 0.75 mg<\/strong>. Prednisolone 5 mg is the standard reference dose. When switching between oral steroids (for example, hospital dexamethasone to outpatient prednisolone), use this conversion to keep the anti-inflammatory dose the same.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why must I take Predniheal in the morning?<\/h3>\n<p>The body&#39;s own cortisol peaks between 6 and 9 a.m. Morning dosing mimics this natural pattern, causes less HPA-axis suppression than evening dosing, and reduces insomnia. Once-daily morning dosing is standard; twice-daily dosing is reserved for severe or rapidly-worsening disease, at the cost of more HPA suppression.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why can&#39;t I just stop Predniheal if I feel better?<\/h3>\n<p>After more than about 2&ndash;3 weeks of daily dosing, the adrenal glands stop making their own cortisol because the pituitary sees plenty of it arriving from the tablet. If you stop abruptly, the adrenal glands cannot switch back on fast enough &mdash; you have no cortisol for hours to days, which can cause an adrenal crisis (collapse, low blood pressure, severe nausea, confusion, potentially death). Always taper under medical supervision.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I protect my bones on Predniheal?<\/h3>\n<p>Start calcium 1,000&ndash;1,200 mg\/day + vitamin D 800&ndash;1,000 IU\/day from day one. For courses expected to last more than 3 months at 7.5 mg\/day or higher, a weekly bisphosphonate (alendronate or risedronate) or annual zoledronic acid should be considered from the start in post-menopausal women and older men &mdash; do not wait for a DEXA scan. Weight-bearing exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol, and adequate protein intake all help.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Predniheal give me diabetes?<\/h3>\n<p>Corticosteroids raise blood glucose and can unmask latent diabetes or worsen existing diabetes. Expect fasting glucose to rise within days of starting any moderate-dose course. Check fasting glucose or HbA1c before starting; monitor during; and be ready to up-titrate oral hypoglycaemics or add temporary insulin. Steroid-induced diabetes during a short course usually resolves within weeks of tapering off; steroid use for months to years can cause persistent diabetes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drink alcohol on Predniheal?<\/h3>\n<p>Moderate alcohol (up to 1&ndash;2 units\/day) is generally safe on short-to-medium steroid courses, but combined steroid + NSAID + alcohol is a major risk factor for GI bleed and ulcer. Higher alcohol intake during long-term steroid therapy also increases risk of avascular necrosis of the hip. Keep alcohol low during any steroid course &mdash; and avoid entirely if taking concomitant NSAIDs or if you have a history of GI bleed.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I get an infection while on Predniheal?<\/h3>\n<p>Steroids suppress both the immune response and the outward signs of infection (fever may be blunted, symptoms less obvious). Any unexplained fever, productive cough, new pain, severe fatigue or malaise on Predniheal should be reviewed promptly by a clinician. During acute illness you may need a temporary DOSE INCREASE (&ldquo;stress dose&rdquo;) rather than a dose reduction &mdash; your prescriber should have given you sick-day rules. Do not stop the steroid when you are ill.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I have live vaccines on Predniheal?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>No &mdash; at immunosuppressive doses.<\/strong> Live vaccines (MMR, varicella, yellow fever, BCG, live nasal flu, live Zostavax shingles vaccine) are contraindicated at 20 mg\/day or more of prednisolone for 2 weeks or longer, and for 3 months after stopping. Inactivated vaccines &mdash; annual flu jab, pneumococcal, COVID-19, Shingrix recombinant shingles vaccine, HPV &mdash; are fine and recommended. Plan your travel vaccinations and Shingrix dose before starting a prolonged course.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a &ldquo;steroid card&rdquo; and do I need one?<\/h3>\n<p>A steroid card is a small card you carry stating that you are on long-term corticosteroid therapy. It warns emergency clinicians and anaesthetists that you have HPA-axis suppression and may need stress-dose steroid cover during surgery, trauma or severe illness. You should carry one if you have been on any oral corticosteroid for more than 3 weeks. Pharmacies can issue one on request.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">De ce s\u0103 comanzi de la MedsBase<\/h3>\n<p>Predniheal is supplied through a WHO-GMP certified manufacturer with full COA documentation.
