This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Do not stop taking it suddenly if you have taken it for more than 3 weeks or at high doses. Your body may need time to start making its own steroid again. Your doctor will lower the dose slowly.
- It can lower your ability to fight infections. Avoid people with chickenpox, shingles or measles if you have not had them, and tell your doctor if you are exposed.
- Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, stomach ulcers, osteoporosis, glaucoma, epilepsy, an infection (including TB), or a history of mental health problems.
- Do not have live vaccines while taking high doses.
- Ibuprofen and similar painkillers raise the risk of stomach ulcers when taken with steroids.
- Carry a steroid card if you take it for more than 3 weeks.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Prednisolone can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Increased appetite and weight gain
- Trouble sleeping
- Mood changes, such as feeling irritable, anxious or very cheerful
- Indigestion or heartburn
- Higher blood sugar
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Black, tarry stools or vomiting blood (stomach bleeding)
- Signs of infection: fever, chills, sore throat
- Severe mood changes, feeling very low, or seeing or hearing things
- Blurred vision or eye pain
- Very tired, dizzy, sick and weak after stopping (possible adrenal problem)
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it once a day in the morning, with breakfast.
- Swallow the tablet with water. Some tablets can be dissolved in water.
- Doses vary widely, from 5 mg to 60 mg a day. A short course for asthma is often 40 mg a day for 5 days.
- Follow your doctor's plan for lowering the dose.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember the same day. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Never take two doses at once.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
- QWhy must I take Prednisolone in the morning?
- A
Your body naturally makes its own steroid in the morning. Taking it then copies this pattern and causes less trouble sleeping.
- QCan I stop Prednisolone straight away?
- A
If you have taken it for less than 3 weeks at a low dose, your doctor may say you can. Otherwise, it must be reduced slowly.
- QWill Prednisolone make me put on weight?
- A
It can increase appetite. Choosing healthy snacks and watching salt intake helps.
