Effectiveness
How Pred Mild Affects PatientsPrednisolone acetate works by blocking chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. It is short-acting, as it only lasts for 2-3 hours. Patients may take larger doses of prednisolone acetate than the body naturally produces to help reduce inflammation. It is important for patients to be aware of the risk of the body's hormone system being suppressed by this drug, and the increased risk of getting infections.
How Pred Mild works in the bodyCorticosteroids reduce inflammation by limiting blood vessel widening and white blood cell movement. They also change gene expression in the body, inhibiting the formation of molecules related to inflammation and activating molecules that fight it. Low doses of corticosteroids help reduce inflammation, while higher doses weaken the immune system. Extended use of high doses of these drugs can also raise sodium levels and decrease potassium levels in the body.

Pred Mild Reviews: What are patients saying about Pred Mild?
4.7Patient Review
1/28/2010 I was suffering for over a week with red, swollen, and itchy eyes. The doctor prescribed Patanol, which worked for maybe a day. I went back and he prescribed Pred Mild. I can't tell you how good it felt after the first treatment. It stings just a bit since it goes onto raw skin but OH how good it felt NOT to itch!
