Instructions for use

Prednisolone solution is administered intravenously, as well as intramuscularly and intraarticularly.

The method of administration and dosage of the drug are selected individually, taking into account the type of pathological process, the severity of the patient's condition, the location of the affected organ.

In severe conditions, the patient is prescribed pulse therapy using elevated concentrations of the drug for a short time. Within 3-5 days, 1-2 grams of the drug is administered to him by intravenous drip infusion every day. The duration of the procedure is from half an hour to 1 hour.

During therapy, the dosage is adjusted depending on the condition of the patient. It is considered optimal to administer the solution intravenously. For intra-articular administration, "Prednisolone" is used only in situations where the tissues inside the joint are affected by the pathological process.

Positive dynamics is considered the basis for transferring the patient to the tablet form. Therapy with pills is continued until a stable remission appears.

Depending on the pathological process, the dosage of "Prednisolone" can vary from 30 to 1200 milligrams per day.

Children from two months to one year are injected with 2 to 3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. The dose of "Prednisolone" for children from one to 14 years old is 1-2 milligrams per kilogrambody weight (as a slow intramuscular injection). If necessary, after half an hour, the drug is administered again at the same concentration.

When a large joint is damaged, 25 to 50 milligrams of medication is injected into it. From 10 to 25 mg are injected into medium-sized joints, from 5 to 10 milligrams into small joints.
