Description
Cortilone-30 Tab, likely containing prednisone (30 mg), is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and suppress immune responses. It mimics cortisol, managing conditions like asthma, arthritis, lupus, and allergic reactions. Taken orally with food to reduce stomach irritation, the dosage varies by condition and is tapered off to avoid withdrawal. It’s effective for acute inflammation or autoimmune flares. Side effects include weight gain, insomnia, or mood swings, with long-term use risking osteoporosis or infections. It’s not for active infections, recent live vaccinations, or uncontrolled diabetes. Monitoring is crucial for blood sugar, bone density, and adrenal function, especially with prolonged use. Avoid abrupt cessation, which can cause adrenal crisis. Pregnant or breastfeeding women need medical advice due to potential fetal risks.
