About this item
Perilon contains Prednisolone, a synthetic glucocorticoid. It is significantly more potent than the body's natural cortisol, allowing it to rapidly bring under control inflammation that causes pain, swelling, and redness. Because it affects various systems in the body, it is a highly effective treatment for systemic issues but must be used carefully under medical supervision to balance its benefits with its potential side effects.
Dosage of Perilon 5mg This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Take exactly as directed by your physician. Dosages vary widely based on the condition being treated.
- Adults: The initial dose may range from 5mg to 60mg daily.
- Maintenance: Once the condition is controlled, the dose is usually "tapered" (gradually reduced) to the lowest effective amount.
Proper Administration
- Best Time: It is usually best to take Perilon as a single dose in the morning (before 9:00 AM) to mimic the body’s natural rhythm of hormone release and reduce the risk of insomnia.
- With Food: Always take the tablets with or immediately after a meal to protect the stomach lining and prevent gastric irritation.
- Missed Dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Never double the dose.
How to Store and Dispose of Perilon 5mg
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from light.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused or expired tablets to your local pharmacy for safe disposal.
Quick Tips for Perilon 5mg
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: If you have been taking Perilon for more than 3 weeks, do not stop taking it suddenly. This can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure (adrenal crisis). Your doctor will provide a schedule to gradually reduce the dose.
- Carry a Steroid Card: If you are on long-term treatment, carry a "Steroid Card" or wear a medical alert bracelet to inform healthcare providers in case of an emergency.
- Avoid Infections: Steroids can weaken your immune system. Try to avoid contact with people who have contagious illnesses like chickenpox or measles.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Perilon 5mg
- Systemic Infections: Do NOT use if you have a widespread fungal or viral infection.
- Recent Vaccines: Do not receive "live" vaccines (like yellow fever) while taking high doses of steroids.
- Known Allergy: Avoid if you are allergic to Prednisolone or other corticosteroids.
Side Effects of Perilon 5mg
- Short-Term Side Effects: Increased appetite, weight gain, mood swings, or difficulty sleeping.
- Long-Term Side Effects: Thinning of the skin, bone loss (osteoporosis), increased blood sugar, and increased risk of cataracts or glaucoma.
- Action: If you experience severe stomach pain, black/tarry stools, or sudden vision changes, contact your doctor immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- Diabetes: Perilon can raise blood sugar levels; diabetic patients should monitor their glucose more frequently.
- Blood Pressure: It can cause salt and water retention, leading to high blood pressure or swelling.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor. While sometimes necessary, it is used with caution as it can affect the baby's growth.
- Pack Size: Usually 10, 30, or 100 tablets per pack.
- Form: Oral Tablet.
- Active Ingredient: Prednisolone 5mg.
