Overview

Np Prednisolone 5mg Tablet contains Prednisolone 5mg and is available as a tablet. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Np Prednisolone 5mg Tablet are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Take Np Prednisolone 5mg Tablet with food or milk to help reduce stomach irritation. If taken once daily, it is usually best taken in the morning, which mimics the body’s natural cortisol rhythm and can help reduce sleep disturbance. Never stop this medicine abruptly after taking it for a prolonged period – always follow your doctor’s tapering schedule exactly, even if you feel well, as sudden withdrawal can be dangerous.

Dosage

The dose of Np Prednisolone 5mg Tablet varies widely depending on the condition being treated and your individual response, ranging from a short course of a few days to longer-term treatment at a lower maintenance dose. Your doctor will individualise your dose and duration, and if you have been taking this medicine for more than a few weeks, it must be reduced gradually (tapered) rather than stopped suddenly.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
