How Does PredNISOLone Work? PredNICSOLone is a corticosteroid that effectively treats allergy and inflammatory symptoms by suppressing the production of substances that cause such reactions. PredNISOLone can also alter the immune response of the body, which is why it is helpful in treating auto-immune diseases.
Side Effects and WarningsSide effects are generally dependent on dosage, and the most common include increased appetite, thirst, and urination. Less common side effects may include panting, diarrhea, vomiting, restlessness, and behavioral changes. Long-term use may result in the side effects such as hair loss, muscle loss, weakness, the development of diabetes or hyperadrenocorticism, and the development or worsening of hypothyroidism or pancreatitis. Immune system suppression can occur at higher doses, making your pet more susceptible to infection. Contact your veterinarian if your pet has a fever or exhibits tiredness, sneezing, coughing, runny eyes, or painful urination. Stop giving the medication and seek emergency veterinary medical attention if your pet exhibits any of the following serious side effects: an allergic reaction, increased blood pressure, or sudden weight gain.
Contact your veterinarian if any side effects seem severe or distressing.
Tell your veterinarian about any existing diseases or conditions that your pet has. Do not give PredNISOLone to pets with systemic fungal infections, stomach ulcers, some types of mange, Cushing's disease, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, or kidney disease. Not for use in pregnant animals, as it may induce labor and cause birth defects. Use caution when giving to young or nursing animals as it may stunt growth.
Since PredNISOLone can affect the outcome of many laboratory tests, make sure your veterinarian knows your pet is taking it before any testing.
