## What is Rednisol 16

Rednisol 16 Tablet is a prescription corticosteroid anti-inflammatory medicine used to treat severe allergic reactions, Asthma, inflammation, and immune-related conditions. It contains the FDA-approved active ingredient Methylprednisolone 16 mg and is manufactured by Leeford Healthcare Ltd, a GMP-certified company.

Methylprednisolone belongs to a class of medicines called corticosteroids or steroid medicines. It works by minimizing the release of substances in the body that cause swelling, redness, itching, and immune overactivity.

Its uses include treatment for severe allergic reactions, Asthma flare-ups, skin inflammation, arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune disorders. It helps calm an overactive immune response and reduces swelling, redness, pain, and irritation. Rednisol 16 mg for allergy should be used only when prescribed, as steroid medicines need careful dose and duration control.

Take Rednisol tablet exactly as advised by your doctor. The dosage depends on your condition, symptom severity, treatment response, and medical history. Do not stop this medicine suddenly, as abrupt stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms or worsen your condition. Your doctor can reduce the dose gradually when stopping is needed.

Common Rednisol 16 mg side effects include nausea, stomach upset, headache, mood changes, and raised blood sugar. This medicine can suppress the immune system, making you more prone to infections. Inform the doctor if you are diagnosed with Diabetes, High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), stomach ulcers, Glaucoma, Osteoporosis, infections, mental health conditions, or if you recently received a vaccine.

Avoid close, long-term contact with people who have chickenpox or measles, especially if you have never had these infections or are not vaccinated, as they can become serious in people taking corticosteroids.

Store it in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and children.
