Cortisol Tablet 5 mg contains Prednisolone, a corticosteroid medicine used to treat a wide range of inflammatory, allergic, autoimmune, and endocrine disorders. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune response, helping relieve symptoms such as swelling, redness, pain, and allergic reactions.

Prednisolone is commonly prescribed for conditions including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, severe allergies, skin disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and certain blood disorders. It is also used as replacement therapy in patients with adrenal insufficiency. Cortisol Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional, as improper use or sudden discontinuation may lead to serious complications.

How Cortisol Tablet Works

Prednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid that mimics the action of the natural hormone cortisol. It inhibits the production of inflammatory chemicals and suppresses excessive immune system activity.

Its therapeutic actions include:

• Reducing inflammation and swelling
• Relieving allergic symptoms
• Suppressing abnormal immune responses
• Reducing pain associated with inflammatory diseases
• Helping restore corticosteroid levels in patients with adrenal insufficiency

These effects help improve symptoms and prevent tissue damage caused by inflammation.

• Take Cortisol Tablet exactly as prescribed by your physician.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• The dosage depends on the medical condition, age, and response to treatment.
• If long-term therapy is required, your doctor may gradually adjust the dose.
• Do not stop taking Prednisolone suddenly, especially after prolonged use, as this may cause adrenal insufficiency. Always follow your doctor's instructions for tapering the dose.
