Prednisolone, 11,17,21-trihydroxypregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione, is a synthetic dehydrogenated analogue of cortisone. Prednisolone and methylprednisolone have a greater anti-inflammatory potency and less tendency to induce sodium and water retention than the older corticoids, cortisone and hydrocortisone. The relative anti-inflammatory potency for hydrocortisone is 1.0; cortisone is 0.8; prednisolone is 4 and methylprednisolone is 5. The relative sodium retaining potency for hydrocortisone is 4; prednisolone is 3 and methylprednisolone is 2. 1,2 INDICATIONS: Prednisolone (Prednistab) is intended for use in dogs. The indications for PrednisTab are the same as those for other anti-inflammatory steroids and comprise the various collagen, dermal, allergic, ocular, otic, and musculoskeletal conditions known to be responsive to the anti-inflammatory corticosteroids.
