Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Orapred ODT Work?
Orapred ODT works by suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. Prednisolone reduces inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators, which leads to decreased swelling, redness, and pain in affected areas. It also alters immune system responses to various stimuli.
Common Dosages
- Orally disintegrating tablets: 10 mg and 15 mg.
Typical Dosing
- Adults: The usual starting dose varies based on the condition being treated, often ranging from 5 mg to 60 mg per day, depending on the severity of the disease.
- Children: Dosage is typically based on weight and the specific condition, so it should be determined by a healthcare provider.
