Indications of Cortan 5
Pharmacology
Prednisolone is a synthetic adrenocortical drug that functions similarly to glucocorticoids. The Phospholipase A2 enzyme, which produces inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes, SRS-A, and prostaglandins, is inhibited by prednisolone. Prednisolone is quickly and completely absorbed from the GI tract after oral ingestion. Prednisolone has a half-life of 2 to 4 hours before it is excreted and is 70–90% protein-bound in the plasma. The liver is where it is primarily processed, and urine is where it is eliminated.
