How It Works

Prednisolone works by mimicking the action of cortisol, a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation and allergic reactions.

Additionally, Prednisolone suppresses the immune system, which is beneficial in treating autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues.
