Effectiveness

How Orapred Odt Affects PatientsPrednisolone is a type of drug called a corticosteroid, which helps to reduce inflammation in the body. It works by blocking signals that create inflammation, and takes effect quickly - usually within 2-4 hours. The amount of prednisolone required by patients can be much higher than what is naturally produced by the body. Taking prednisolone also increases the risk of suppressed hormones and infections, so it is important to be aware of these risks before use.
How Orapred Odt works in the bodyCorticosteroids, when taken in low doses, can reduce inflammation by narrowing the blood vessels and decreasing the movement of white blood cells. These effects are caused by changes in gene expression that occur when the corticosteroid binds to the glucocorticoid receptor. This binding also decreases the production of substances that cause inflammation, while increasing the production of substances that reduce inflammation. Taking corticosteroids in high doses over a long period of time can suppress the body's immune system and raise sodium levels while decreasing potassium levels.

When to interrupt dosage

Orapred Odt for Asthma
My son has asthma and was having a lot of trouble with coughing. We tried this medicine and it worked great! Within two days, his cough was much better. And we didn't see any negative side effects, which is always a bonus.

Orapred Odt for Asthma
My son's wheezing and coughing have rapidly improved since we started this treatment, which is great. It also seems to be helping with his eczema, which is a nice bonus. The only side effects we've noticed are increased appetite and some tummy trouble.

Orapred Odt for Asthma
Though this drug usually works quickly, it unfortunately does not for my eight-year-old son. We often have to resort to breathing treatments in addition to the Orapred. Additionally, after about three days of use his personality changes quite a bit - he becomes more aggressive.

Orapred Odt for Asthma
My toddler had croup and we tried this treatment. We were only supposed to give him two doses, but he turned into a total nightmare. He was destructive and wild. But, it did help with the "barking" cough and so far he's just been coughing regularly.

Orapred Odt for Asthma
My son's side effects from this medication were tingling in his fingers and hyperactivity. While it was effective, I'm not sure if the trade-off is worth it for us.
