Prednisone is used in the management of inflammatory conditions or diseases in which the immune system plays an important role. This particular medicine is most often applied for treating several types of arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, systemic lupus, allergic reactions, asthma and severe psoriasis. It is also used for treating leukemias, lymphomas, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Additionally, corticosteroids, including prednisone, are commonly used to suppress the immune system and prevent the body from rejecting transplanted organs. Prednisone can also be used as replacement therapy in patients whose adrenal glands are unable to produce sufficient amounts of cortisol. Please note that this medication can sometimes be prescribed for other uses, but it is strongly recommended that you ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. nbsp; Prednisonenbsp;is also used to treat many disorders such as lupus, severe psoriasis, severe asthma, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease (as mentioned in the previous section).
