Orapred Description
What is Orapred?
Orapred is a prescription corticosteroid containing prednisolone. It reduces inflammation and calms excess immune activity. In Australia it is offered as an oral liquid and sometimes as tablets. The liquid is common for children or adults who have trouble swallowing pills. A clinician sets the right strength and duration for your condition, and plans a taper when stopping the medicine after a course.
How Orapred is used in Australia
Online pharmacies in Australia dispense Orapred with a valid prescription. Always follow the label and your doctor’s instructions. Do not change the dose yourself or stop suddenly. If you have chronic illnesses or take other medicines, your pharmacist may advise closer monitoring because prednisolone can affect blood sugar, bone health and blood pressure over time.
Who should be careful and when to avoid
Tell your doctor about infections, recent vaccines, ulcers, glaucoma, or mental health issues. Tell them if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding. Children and adolescents may experience slower growth with prolonged use, so growth should be checked during long courses. People with diabetes or osteoporosis require extra supervision.
Administration tips
Take Orapred with meals or milk to help your stomach. Shake the liquid well if the medicine is a suspension. Use the dosing device supplied for accuracy. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Possible side effects
Common effects include increased appetite, weight gain, mood changes, trouble sleeping, heartburn or stomach upset. Some people notice fluid retention or high blood sugar. Skin may become thinner and bruise more easily with longer use. If you have severe reactions, mood swings, swelling or signs of infection that persist, contact your doctor promptly.
Interactions and safety notes
Prednisolone can interact with NSAIDs, certain diabetes medicines, vaccines and antifungals. Discuss all medicines, vitamins and herbal products with your doctor or pharmacist. Do not start new medicines without advice. If you have a fever or infection while on Orapred, seek prompt medical care, as the medicine can mask symptoms.
Storage and disposal
Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Check the expiry date before use. Do not use if the solution looks unusual or has changed colour. Return unused medicine to a pharmacy according to local rules.
