Deltasone (active ingredient: prednisone) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Inflammatory Conditions: Deltasone is used to treat a wide range of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and ulcerative colitis.
  2. Allergic Reactions: It is indicated for the management of severe allergies and skin conditions.
  3. Respiratory Disorders: Deltasone is used to treat conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
  4. Autoimmune Diseases: It is indicated for the treatment of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
  5. Certain Types of Cancer: Deltasone is used in the management of certain cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma.
  6. Adrenal Insufficiency: It is indicated for the treatment of adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease).

Deltasone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids, which work by reducing inflammation and modifying the body’s immune response.

Deltasone is taken by mouth in tablet form, usually with food or milk to prevent stomach upset as directed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters) unless your doctor advises otherwise. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely and adhere to the dosing schedule.

The dosage and duration of the therapy depend on your medical condition and how you respond to the medication. If you are taking the drug on a non-daily routine, such as every other day, it may be beneficial to mark your calendar to avoid missing doses. Do not stop taking this drug abruptly to avoid worsening conditions or withdrawal symptoms. Signs and symptoms of withdrawal are dizziness, weakness, tiredness, nausea, weight loss, and muscle pain.

The typical dosage of Prednisone can vary widely depending on the condition being treated, the patient’s age, and other factors. The usual starting dosage may vary from 5 mg to 60 mg per day, and the maximum daily dosage may be around 60 to 80 mg/day in a single daily dose or in divided doses, typically given for several weeks and then tapered gradually.

  • Do not take Deltasone during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the potential risks. Corticosteroids may affect fetal growth and development, and prolonged use during pregnancy can increase the risk of low birth weight and other complications.
  • Avoid alcohol while taking Deltasone, as alcohol can increase the risk of stomach ulcers and other adverse effects.
  • Deltasone can weaken the immune system, leading to an increased risk of infections. Patients should avoid contact with people who have infections and report any new infections to their doctors promptly.
  • Long-term use of Deltasone can increase the risk of osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), especially in women and older adults. Patients may need to take calcium and vitamin D supplements and should discuss their bone health with their doctors.
  • Deltasone can increase the risk of stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients should take the medication with food and avoid alcohol and aspirin while taking this medication.
  • Deltasone may interact with other medications, such as certain antibiotics, antifungals, and immunosuppressants. Patients should inform their doctors of all medications they are taking.
  • Prolonged use of Deltasone can suppress the adrenal glands, which produce hormones that regulate various bodily functions. Patients who have been taking Deltasone for a long time may need to gradually taper off the medication to avoid withdrawal symptoms and adrenal insufficiency.

Can Deltasone interact with other medications?

Yes, Deltasone can interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungal medicines, and medications that affect the immune system. Inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Deltasone?

Can Deltasone cause withdrawal symptoms?
