About Prednisolone

Prednisolone is a potent corticosteroid medication widely used across Nigeria for the treatment of severe inflammatory and allergic conditions. It is a synthetic glucocorticoid that mimics the effects of cortisol, a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands. Prednisolone works by suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation throughout the body. In Nigerian hospitals and clinics — from teaching hospitals in Lagos, Ibadan, and Enugu to general hospitals in smaller cities — prednisolone is one of the most frequently prescribed steroids for conditions ranging from severe asthma attacks to autoimmune diseases. It is listed on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines and is a critical medication in emergency and chronic disease management.
