Predly 5 mg Tablet

Predly 5 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 5 mg of prednisolone in each tablet. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid, or steroid medicine, used to reduce inflammation and calm overactive immune responses. Predly 5 mg Tablet may be prescribed for allergic conditions and other inflammatory problems when a doctor decides a low-dose oral steroid is appropriate. This strip/box of 10 tablets is made by Ind-Swift Laboratories Ltd.

How it works: Prednisolone works by lowering the release of chemicals that cause swelling, redness, itching, and allergic reactions. As an oral tablet, Predly 5 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system, then it works throughout the body.

Predly 5 mg Tablet is a low-strength prednisolone tablet, which makes it useful when a doctor wants a smaller, easier-to-adjust oral dose. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 5 mg tablet fits into typical prednisolone dosing by allowing dose changes in 5 mg steps based on the condition being treated and the person’s response.

• Allergic reactions
• Severe seasonal allergy symptoms
• Asthma flare-ups when prescribed
• Inflammatory skin conditions
• Other steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions

• Swallow Predly 5 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it with food or milk if it upsets your stomach.
• Take it exactly at the time and frequency your doctor prescribes; dosing can vary by condition.
• If you are taking it once daily, morning dosing is often preferred to match the body’s natural steroid rhythm.
• Do not stop Predly 5 mg Tablet suddenly unless your prescriber tells you to taper it.
• If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Predly 5 mg Tablet provides 5 mg of prednisolone, so the prescribed dose may be 1 tablet, more than 1 tablet, or a split dosing schedule depending on the condition. It may be taken once daily or divided through the day, and there is no single maximum daily dose for every patient because the doctor individualizes it based on the illness, severity, and response. Always follow the exact directions on your prescription, especially with this steroid tablet.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
