Prednisone（Cat No.:A001149）is a synthetic corticosteroid commonly used to treat a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, such as arthritis, asthma, lupus, and allergies. It works by suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation, thus alleviating symptoms like swelling, pain, and redness. Prednisone is also used to treat certain cancers and to prevent organ transplant rejection. While effective, long-term use can lead to side effects such as weight gain, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and increased susceptibility to infections. It’s typically prescribed at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary.
