A steroid medication: Prednisolone is a form of medication know as a steroid--the active metabolite of prednisone. Used similarly, both medications are useful in the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or asthma. In certain medical situations Prednisolone may be better absorbed than prednisone.

Antiinflammatory: Prednisolone is the active metabolite of prednisone. Prednisone is naturally made in the body and helps control inflammation. Prednisolone is the medication we use orally to help with inflammation: croup asthma, eczema, inflammatory conditions, etc.
