What is prednisolone?

Prednisolone is an oral corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and suppress immune overactivity across a wide range of conditions — including asthma flares, allergic reactions, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatologic conditions, and certain autoimmune disorders. Prednisolone is the active form of prednisone, meaning the body doesn't need to convert it — making it particularly useful for people with liver conditions who may not convert prednisone efficiently. It's available as a tablet and liquid, taken once or multiple times daily depending on the condition, and tapered gradually rather than stopped abruptly.

Active corticosteroid form

Unlike prednisone, which requires liver conversion, prednisolone is already in its active form — providing consistent anti-inflammatory activity, which can help people with impaired liver function.

Broad immune and inflammatory suppression

Inhibits the production of prostaglandins, cytokines, and inflammatory mediators throughout the body, rapidly reducing swelling, pain, and immune-driven tissue damage across virtually any organ system.

Flexible dosing and formulations

Available in multiple strengths and as a liquid for people who can't swallow tablets — with dosing tailored to condition severity and typically tapered gradually to allow the adrenal glands to resume normal cortisol production.
