Important information about Pediapred
The active ingredient in Pediapred is prednisolone.
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid or glucocorticoid that works by reducing inflammation and modifying immune system activity. It affects the production of inflammatory substances in the body and suppresses immune responses that cause swelling, redness, and pain.
Because of its anti-inflammatory effects, prednisolone can help treat a wide range of conditions, such as:
- Allergic reactions.
- Autoimmune diseases.
- Certain respiratory conditions.
- Skin disorders.
- Certain cancers.
By reducing immune activity and inflammation, Pediapred helps relieve symptoms such as swelling, redness, and pain.
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Pediapred. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Pediapred:
- Take Pediapred exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- The medication is taken orally in liquid form.
- Measure each dose carefully using a proper measuring device.
- The medication may be taken with food or milk to reduce stomach irritation.
- Take the medication at the same time each day when possible.
- If a dose is missed, take the next dose as directed unless otherwise instructed.

These are not all of the possible side effects of Pediapred. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.
Before starting Pediapred, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including if you have:
- High blood pressure or hypertension.
- Diabetes or high blood sugar.
- Glaucoma or cataracts.
- Osteoporosis.
- Thyroid disorders.
- Peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal problems like ulcerative colitis or diverticulitis.
- Myasthenia gravis.
- Herpes simplex.
- Prednisolone suppresses the immune system and may increase the risk of infections. Patients should avoid exposure to infections such as chickenpox or measles while taking corticosteroids.
- Live vaccines and certain immunizations may not be recommended while taking this medication because the immune response may be weakened.
Pediapred should not be used in patients who have:
- Known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to prednisolone or other corticosteroids.
- Systemic fungal infections.
Your healthcare provider will evaluate your medical history before prescribing Pediapred.
Pediapred may begin reducing inflammation and symptoms within several hours to a few days, depending on the condition being treated.
Some conditions may require a longer period of treatment before full improvement is seen.
When Pediapred is taken with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, it may change how they work or increase the frequency or severity of side effects. Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:
- Phenytoin, which may reduce the effectiveness of corticosteroids by increasing metabolism.
- Cyclosporine, which may increase the risk of toxicity when combined with corticosteroids.
- Estrogens, which may increase corticosteroid effects.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which may increase the risk of gastrointestinal irritation or ulcers.
Pediapred is available as an oral liquid formulation containing prednisolone.
The dosage depends on the condition being treated, the patient’s age, and the response to therapy.
It should be stored at room temperature, away from the reach of children or pets.
Pediapred is manufactured by Celltech Pharmaceuticals.
Yes, prednisolone is available as a generic medication and may also be marketed under brand names such as Orapred and Prelone.
Do not stop taking Pediapred suddenly unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
Corticosteroids may require gradual dose reduction after long-term use to prevent withdrawal symptoms and allow the adrenal glands to adjust.
Pediapred may rarely harm an unborn baby. Discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider before starting this medication.
It is not known whether prednisolone passes into breast milk or if it could affect the nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider can help determine whether Pediapred is appropriate while breastfeeding.
