Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. This is prednisolone solution. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that reduces swelling and inflammation, so it helps many conditions. You should take it as prescribed. If this medication is for a child, it's important to use a measuring spoon or an oral syringe to get the correct dose. Also, you should take it with food to reduce stomach upset. It's usually well-tolerated, but some side effects can occur, like a headache or mild dizziness. You could have trouble sleeping, and taking the dose earlier in the day may help. Or you could feel restless, and limiting caffeine might help. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking it, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist. In rare cases, serious side effects can occur, so call your doctor right away if you notice unusual changes to your body, like severe mood swings, fever, vision problems or rapid weight gain. If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, it's a good idea to check your blood pressure or blood sugar levels, and tell your doctor of any changes. For best results, take prednisolone as directed. If you are taking it for several weeks or months, don't suddenly stop, unless your doctor says it's okay. Also, ask about other possible long-term effects and monitoring.
