Prednisolone 20 mg tablets are potent corticosteroids prescribed for dogs and cats to treat a variety of conditions, including inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, allergies, and certain types of cancer. By mimicking natural hormones produced by the adrenal glands, prednisolone reduces inflammation and modulates the immune system's activity, relieving symptoms like itching, swelling, and pain.
Prednisolone dosage varies depending on the species, weight, and specific condition being treated. It's typically administered orally, with or without food, as directed by a veterinarian. Common side effects may include increased thirst, urination, appetite, and potential weight gain. Long-term use can lead to more serious effects such as immune suppression, gastrointestinal issues, and hormonal imbalances. Therefore, following the prescribed dosage and schedule is crucial, and discontinuing the medication abruptly without veterinary advice is not. Regular monitoring by a veterinarian is recommended to ensure the treatment's effectiveness and to adjust dosages as necessary.
