Overview
Sunward Deltasolone Tablet contains prednisolone 5mg, a corticosteroid (steroid) tablet used to reduce inflammation and suppress an overactive immune response in a wide range of conditions, including asthma flare-ups, severe allergic reactions, certain autoimmune and inflammatory disorders (such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus), and some blood and skin conditions.
Prednisolone works by entering cells and binding to glucocorticoid receptors, which switch off the production of inflammatory chemical messengers and reduce the activity of immune cells involved in swelling, redness, and tissue damage.
How it Works
Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that mimics the body’s natural cortisol. It suppresses the release of inflammatory substances such as prostaglandins and cytokines, reduces swelling and the migration of immune cells to sites of inflammation, and dampens the overall activity of the immune system.
Directions for Use
Take prednisolone tablets with or after food to reduce stomach upset, at the times advised by your doctor, usually as a single morning dose to mimic the body’s natural cortisol rhythm. If a course is prescribed for more than a few days, do not stop it abruptly – your doctor will advise on how to taper the dose safely.
Dosage
The dose of prednisolone depends on the condition being treated and its severity, and your doctor will individualise it. Short courses for acute conditions are typically prescribed for a few days, while chronic conditions may require longer courses with gradual dose reduction. Take exactly as prescribed; do not adjust the dose yourself.
