Omnacortil contains Prednisolone.

Product Overview

Omnacortil is a corticosteroid medication containing Prednisolone as its active ingredient. These dispersible tablets are designed to effectively manage various inflammatory conditions by reducing swelling, allergic responses, and immune system overactivity. As a synthetic glucocorticoid, Prednisolone mimics natural hormones to regulate inflammation and immune function. Physicians commonly prescribe Omnacortil for inflammatory disorders including respiratory conditions (such as asthma), autoimmune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus), severe allergic reactions, dermatological conditions, and as adjunct therapy in certain cancers.

Uses

This medication is indicated for:

  • Inflammatory respiratory conditions (asthma, COPD exacerbations)
  • Autoimmune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus)
  • Allergic conditions (severe allergic reactions, angioedema)
  • Dermatological conditions (psoriasis, severe eczema, contact dermatitis)
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease)
  • As part of chemotherapy protocols for certain cancers

  3. Maintain consistent dosing times, preferably in the morning
  4. Do not abruptly discontinue without medical supervision
  5. Report any unusual symptoms to your physician immediately

Mechanism of Action

Prednisolone exerts its therapeutic effects through multiple pathways:

  • Inhibits phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene production
  • Suppresses migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes
  • Reduces capillary permeability to decrease edema
  • Stabilizes lysosomal membranes
  • Modulates immune cell function and cytokine production

Dosage Guidelines

Dosage is individualized based on:

  • Specific condition being treated
  • Disease severity
  • Patient response
  • Concurrent medications

Typical dosing ranges from 5-60mg daily, usually as a single morning dose. Always follow your physician’s prescribed regimen.
