What is Wysolone (Prednisolone) used for?

Wysolone (Prednisolone) is an oral corticosteroid prescribed to treat a wide variety of inflammatory conditions, allergic disorders, or arthritis. It operates by preventing the action of enzymes that are released in response to injury that cause the swelling, pain, and irritation associated with these conditions. This action makes it useful for treating rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, some allergic reactions, carditis, or inflammation of connective tissues. Your physician may prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Wysolone (Prednisolone)?

These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and should be taken along with a meal or snack to prevent nausea. Avoid changing the form of the tablets by crushing or splitting them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your pharmacist or physician any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct usage.
