Deltasone Tablet 5 mg contains Prednisolone, a synthetic corticosteroid known for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. This lower-dose formulation is commonly used for mild to moderate conditions where gradual symptom control is needed, or as part of a tapering regimen after higher-dose therapy.

Prednisolone works by reducing inflammation, suppressing overactive immune responses, and regulating hormonal balance in cases of adrenal insufficiency or other endocrine disorders. Deltasone Tablet 5 mg is suitable for both short-term flare-ups and long-term management under medical supervision.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Prednisolone 5 mg

Mechanism of Action

Prednisolone mimics natural corticosteroids produced by the adrenal glands. It binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression and reducing the production of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and cytokines. This leads to decreased inflammation, tissue swelling, and immune system activity.

Indications

Deltasone Tablet 5 mg is indicated for:

• Autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus)

• Allergic reactions and asthma

• Mild to moderate inflammatory conditions (e.g., dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease)

• Endocrine disorders such as adrenal insufficiency

• As part of a tapering regimen following higher-dose corticosteroid therapy

Dosage and Administration

• Dosage depends on the condition, severity, and patient response.

• Usually taken once daily or divided into multiple doses as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

• Take with water, preferably after meals, to reduce gastrointestinal irritation.

• Do not discontinue abruptly; tapering is necessary to avoid adrenal insufficiency.

• Regular monitoring is recommended for long-term use to check blood pressure, blood sugar, and bone health.

Precautions

• Use cautiously in patients with diabetes, hypertension, infections, or osteoporosis.

• Avoid live vaccines during therapy.

• Inform your doctor of other medications to prevent interactions.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: use only if prescribed by a healthcare professional.

• Long-term therapy may require supplementation of calcium and vitamin D.
