Prescription Information
  • Prescription must match the product, strength and formulation ordered.
  • For orders involving more than one pet, a separate prescription is required.
  • Uploaded prescriptions are valid for up to 6 months or until the prescribed number of repeats has been supplied, whichever comes first. In accordance with UK Veterinary Medicines Regulations, we are legally required to retain veterinary prescriptions for a minimum of 5 years.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Prednicortone 5mg tablets contain prednisolone, a corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory and immune-mediated conditions in both dogs and cats. 

Prednisolone works by reducing inflammation and suppressing excessive immune responses. It is commonly prescribed for allergic skin disease, inflammatory bowel disease, respiratory inflammation, autoimmune disorders and certain cancer treatment protocols.

Tablets are scored where applicable to help achieve accurate dosing. Dosage varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient. Always administer exactly as prescribed by your veterinary surgeon. Long-term corticosteroid therapy should not be stopped suddenly unless your vet advises a gradual dose reduction.

Important information:
Prednicortone is a Prescription Only Veterinary Medicine (POM-V). A valid veterinary prescription is required before this medication can be dispensed. Use only as directed by your vet.

Further information, including contraindications and potential side effects, can be found in the product data sheet available here.
