Understanding Prednisone: Your Body's Inflammation Shield
Prednisone is a trusted corticosteroid medication that has been helping Filipinos manage severe allergies, asthma attacks, arthritis, and autoimmune conditions for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for inflammatory and immunological disorders.
How Prednisone Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your immune system is an overactive security guard that sometimes attacks your own body or overreacts to harmless substances. Prednisone acts like a "calming supervisor"—it suppresses this overactivity to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. This helps with:
- Severe allergic reactions and asthma attacks
- Autoimmune diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis)
- Skin conditions, blood disorders, and certain cancers
- Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis)
