Predsol Syrup

Predsol
syrup contains 5 mg Prednisolone as the active ingredient. Prednisolone is from a family of medicines known as steroids. It is used to help reduce the symptoms of asthma, such as wheeze. If your child has severe asthma, taking prednisolone regularly will help prevent asthma attacks and control symptoms such as wheezing. If your child had had an asthma attack, your doctor may suggest that they take a high dose of prednisolone for a few days, to help them recover. Prednisolone is usually used alongside other asthma treatments such as inhalers.

How to use

Prednisolone is usually given once each day, usually in the morning. Give the medicine at about the same time each day so that this becomes part of your child’s daily routine, which will help you to remember. Your doctor will work out the amount (the dose) that is right for your child. The dose will be shown on the medicine label.

Precautions

Side effects; Stomach ache, feel sick or be sick (vomit) or may have indigestion (heartburn). Giving the medicine with some food may help.
