Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication used to treat a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. It is typically prescribed to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms such as pain, swelling, and itching.
Prednisone is available in both oral and topical forms. Oral prednisone is taken by mouth, while topical prednisone is applied directly to the affected area. The dosage and frequency of administration will vary depending on the condition being treated.
