A synthetic corticosteroid, prednisone acts on the glucocorticoid receptor to suppress inflammation and dampen overactive immune responses. It is prescribed across a broad range of conditions, from asthma and allergic reactions to arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers. Structurally it is a pregnane derivative with the molecular formula C21H26O5, marketed under names including Deltasone, Rayos, and Sterapred. Prolonged use affects bone density, blood glucose, and immune function, so extended courses are accompanied by monitoring. Its potency and versatility have made it one of the most widely used systemic steroids in clinical medicine.

A widely used corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and calms overactive immune responses, prescribed for conditions ranging from asthma and allergic reactions to arthritis, certain cancers, and autoimmune diseases. Long-term use requires careful monitoring as it can affect bone density, blood sugar, and immune function.
