Wysolone 20 mg Tablet

Wysolone 20 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 20 mg of prednisolone in each tablet. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid medicine that helps reduce inflammation and dampen an overactive immune response. Wysolone 20 mg Tablet is used for conditions such as asthma flares and other inflammatory or allergic conditions when a doctor needs a moderate-to-strong oral steroid option. It is manufactured by Wyeth, India and supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Prednisolone in Wysolone 20 mg Tablet works by blocking the release of substances in the body that cause swelling, redness, and allergy symptoms. As a tablet, it is absorbed through the stomach and intestines so it can begin controlling inflammation throughout the body after you swallow it.

Wysolone 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength version compared with Wysolone 5 mg Tablet and Wysolone 10 mg Tablet, so it is generally chosen when a doctor wants a larger dose per tablet with fewer tablets needed. This can make dosing simpler for short courses or for people who need a stronger anti-inflammatory effect, but it is not meant to be taken casually or as a starting dose unless your clinician specifically prescribes it.

• Asthma exacerbations
• Severe allergic reactions
• Inflammatory conditions
• Autoimmune flare-ups
• Skin and joint inflammation
• Other steroid-responsive conditions prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Wysolone 20 mg Tablet with water; do not chew unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
• Take it with food or after a meal to lower the chance of stomach upset.
• Take it at the same time each day if you are on a repeated schedule, often in the morning to better match the body’s natural steroid rhythm.
• Do not stop taking it suddenly if you have used it for more than a short course; your doctor may need to taper the dose.
• Follow the exact number of tablets and days prescribed; the 20 mg strength is not interchangeable with lower strengths without dose adjustment.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up without medical advice.

Each Wysolone 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of prednisolone per tablet, which is a relatively strong oral dose compared with 5 mg and 10 mg tablets. The dosing frequency and maximum daily amount depend on the condition being treated and your doctor’s plan; some people take it once daily, while others may need divided doses or a tapering schedule. Never change the dose on your own, because the correct total daily amount is individualized.

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