Overview
Dhasolone 5mg Tablet contains prednisolone 5mg, a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and suppress an overactive immune response across a wide range of conditions, including allergic reactions, asthma flare-ups, autoimmune disorders, and certain skin, joint, or eye inflammatory conditions.
Prednisolone works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors inside cells, which changes the activity of genes that control inflammation. This reduces the production of inflammatory chemicals in the body and calms down swelling, redness, and immune overactivity.
How it Works
Prednisolone binds intracellular glucocorticoid receptors, altering gene transcription to reduce the production of inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins while also dampening the activity of immune cells. This broad anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive action is why prednisolone is used across so many different inflammatory conditions.
Directions for Use
Take Dhasolone 5mg Tablet with food or milk to reduce stomach upset, and preferably in the morning to mirror the body’s natural cortisol rhythm unless your doctor advises a different schedule. Follow your prescribed dosing and tapering schedule exactly, and do not stop the medicine abruptly without medical advice.
Dosage
The dose of Dhasolone 5mg Tablet varies widely depending on the condition being treated, ranging from a few milligrams to much higher doses for severe flare-ups, and is always individualised by your doctor. Your doctor will also decide whether the dose needs to be gradually tapered down rather than stopped suddenly, especially after longer courses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I stop taking Dhasolone 5mg Tablet suddenly?
Prednisolone suppresses your body’s own natural steroid (cortisol) production, and stopping suddenly – especially after more than a few days of use – can cause withdrawal symptoms or dangerously low natural steroid levels. Always follow your doctor’s tapering instructions.
Can I take Dhasolone 5mg Tablet with food?
Yes, taking it with food or milk is recommended to reduce the chance of stomach irritation.
Why does my doctor want me to take this medicine in the morning?
Morning dosing mimics the body’s natural cortisol rhythm and can help reduce sleep disturbance compared with taking it later in the day.
Will Dhasolone 5mg Tablet affect my blood sugar?
Yes, corticosteroids like prednisolone can raise blood sugar levels, so people with diabetes should monitor their levels more closely and inform their doctor of any significant changes.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Dhasolone 5mg Tablet?
