A member asked:
At what age can children take prednisolone ? and what is the difference between prednisolone or normal prednisone and hydrocortisone ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any: This is just a different form of the same family of meds. The body produces cortisol, the parent molecule of all these drugs as a stress hormone.These vary in their duration of effect and palatability. I would use it at any age I find it needed.
