  • Readily absorbed glucocorticoid to treat inflammation and immune diseases. 
  • Reduces itching and swelling in eyes and skin due to allergic reactions.
  • Belongs to the corticosteroid family of drugs. It works by suppressing the inflammatory response of the body to a wide range of causes. 
  • May also be used as an immunosuppressive drug for certain immune disorders or following transplants. 
  • Do not give if the animal has a serious bacterial, viral or fungal infection as prednisone suppresses the immune system and reduces the ability to fight infection.
  • It is important to tell your veterinarian if the animal being treated has liver or kidney disease, heart disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes or stomach ulcers. 
  • Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
Prednisone should always be given with food. The dosage for this drug varies depending on the condition being treated and the pet’s response to treatment. Do not stop administering suddenly. Dosage for prednisone should be gradually reduced to stopping. Avoid sources of infection while on this medication as it reduces the ability to fight infection.
