Prednisone
Also known as Decortisyl, Prednicen-M, Sterapred, Liquid Pred, Meticorten, Orasone, Deltasone, and Econosone
Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant drug. It is used to treat certain inflammatory diseases (such as moderate allergic reactions) and (at higher doses) some types of cancer, but has significant adverse effects. Because it suppresses the immune system, it leaves patients more susceptible to infections.
