Quick Reference
What Is Prednisolone?
Prednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid widely used in veterinary medicine to reduce inflammation, suppress overactive immune responses, and manage allergic conditions. It is often preferred over prednisone in cats and in pets with impaired liver function, as it does not require hepatic conversion to become active. Compounded formulations allow veterinarians to tailor dosing and improve palatability.
How Prednisolone Works in Pets
Prednisolone works by modulating the immune system and inhibiting inflammatory mediators, reducing swelling, redness, itching, and immune-driven tissue damage. It is commonly used for allergic skin disease, inflammatory bowel disease, immune-mediated disorders, and certain neurologic or respiratory conditions.
