How It Works

Predilin Tablet 5mg works by entering cells and binding to glucocorticoid receptors, which alters gene expression. This results in decreased production of inflammatory mediators, reduced immune cell activity, and inhibition of inflammatory processes throughout the body, leading to symptom relief.

Duration of Action

Effects begin within 1-2 hours after administration, with anti-inflammatory benefits lasting approximately 24-36 hours per dose. The biological half-life ranges from 12-36 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing in many treatment protocols.

Dosage

Warnings

Never discontinue Predilin Tablet 5mg abruptly after prolonged use. Long-term use may lead to serious side effects including osteoporosis, diabetes, increased infection susceptibility, and adrenal suppression. Contraindicated in patients with untreated infections, systemic fungal infections, or hypersensitivity to components.

Side Effects

Common effects include increased appetite, fluid retention, mood changes, insomnia, weight gain, high blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, muscle weakness, skin thinning, easy bruising, and increased vulnerability to infections. Psychological effects may include mood swings and depression.
