Effectiveness

How Deltasone Affects PatientsPrednisone is a type of medication that works by blocking certain signals in the body that cause inflammation. It only remains in the body for a few hours, and patients may need to take doses that are higher than what the body produces naturally. People taking this medication should be aware of the potential side effects, such as an increased risk of infections and suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
How Deltasone works in the bodyPrednisone is changed in the liver to its active form, prednisolone. This works to narrow blood vessels and reduce the flow of white blood cells to inflamed areas of the body. It also prevents cells from dying, lowers the formation of certain acids, and helps produce anti-inflammatory substances. Low doses of prednisolone reduce inflammation, while high doses weaken the immune system. When taken for a long time, prednisolone can raise sodium levels and lower potassium levels.

Deltasone Reviews: What are patients saying about Deltasone?

5Patient Review
7/15/2010
Deltasone for Psoriasis associated with Arthritis
I was pleased to find that, after reading some negative reviews, short-term use of this medication seems to be just fine. My son has had to take it twice now and I'm always a bit hesitant when it comes to giving him medicine. He hates the initial taste and the even worse aftertaste, but thankfully it doesn't last too long.

Deltasone for Crohn's Disease
I've only been using this treatment for nine days, but it has already done wonders for my psoriasis and arthritis. My hands are almost clear of the rash, and my joints feel better than they have in a long time. I hope I can keep taking this medication!
