A member asked:

My doctor has prescribed me with steroids called prednisolone for 7 days. what is it for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inflammation: Prednisolone is a very effective glucocorticosteroid used to treat inflammatory conditions. Examples of a short course like yours could include acute asthma flare, severe poison ivy to name a few. Because of the potential for side effects it is prescribed sparingly.
