Overview
Sunward Prelone 3mg/5ml Syrup contains prednisolone 3mg per 5ml, a corticosteroid (steroid) medicine in an oral liquid form that is often prescribed for children as well as adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It is used to reduce inflammation and suppress an overactive immune response in a wide range of conditions, including asthma flare-ups, croup, allergic reactions, and certain autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
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 mucus production in the airways, and dampens the activity of white blood cells that drive allergic and inflammatory responses, providing relatively fast symptom relief.
Directions for Use
Shake the bottle well before use and measure the dose using the oral syringe or measuring cup provided rather than a household spoon. It is usually taken with or after food to reduce stomach upset. 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 syrup depends on the condition being treated, the patient’s age and weight, and the response to treatment. Short courses for acute conditions (such as an asthma flare-up) are typically prescribed for a few days, while some chronic conditions may need longer, tapering courses. The dose and duration must be individualised and followed exactly as your doctor prescribes; do not adjust it yourself.
