Prednisolone is a synthetic analogue of the hormones cortisone and hydrocortisone. The drug causes significant anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antiexudative, antishock, anti-toxic effects. Anti-inflammatory effect of prednisolone is achieved mainly associated with cytosolic glucocorticosteroid receptors. The complex between the hormone and the receptor penetrates into the nucleus of the target skin cell enhances expression of the genes that code synthesis of lipokortins, the substances which inhibits phospholipase A2 and reduce the synthesis of metabolic products of arachidonic acid cyclic known to participate in inflammatory reaction. Antiallergic effect of the drug is explained by its ability to decrease number of basophils and inhibit synthesis and secretion of biologically active substances. Prednisolone is used to treat many different conditions such as allergic disorders, collagenosis (skin conditions), infectious nonspecific polyarthritis, psoriasis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, bronchial Asthma, acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia, neurodermatitis, eczema, Addison disease (decreased adrenal function), and many others.

∙ 13y agoPlease let me know what is prednisolone for, i am having rashes, do i need to take prednisolone?
The best thing for you to do is consult your GP. I took Prednisolone on two different occasions for two very different reasons.
1. I was diagnosed with Belles Palsey when I was carrying my youngest child. This is a type of Paralyses in the face, neck and arm. I took Prednisolone to stop my entire Immune system, this was to prevent the over-reacting it had caused.
2. I was given Prednisolone after I had an asthma attack, to help stop the weezing because the Ventolin puffer wasn't working.
Speak to your GP, as you can see, two very different sitruations, same steroid same outcome - IT WORKED.
