Orapred Information:
What is Orapred?
Orapred is the corticosteroid prednisolone prescribed to treat the inflammation in joints, skin, lungs, or other organs caused by certain disorders and illnesses such as allergies, ulcerative colitis, lupus, skin conditions, breathing disorder, arthritis, and breathing conditions such as asthma. It may be prescribed to treat other conditions such as adrenal gland issues or blood disorders, at the discretion of a doctor. It is an endocrine metabolic agent preventing the release of substances that cause inflammation.
How do I take Orapred?
The Orapred drug is dispensed as either a liquid solution or as a disintegrating tab, both of which are taken orally; the frequency of dosage will depend on a patient’s particular circumstances. If taking the liquid suspension, shake the bottle well, and pour the prescribe amount into a dose-measuring spoon or cup; do not use a household spoon. If taking the disintegrating tab, remove it from its blister pack when you are ready to take it and immediately place it in the mouth, allowing it to dissolve; do not chew or swallow the tab.
Before taking Orapred, tell your doctor if:
- You are allergic to prednisolone or any of the ingredients in the Orapred medicine
- You are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or are nursing a child
- You are taking any prescription or non-prescription medications, vitamins, or supplements
- You have, or have had, malaria, myasthenia gravis or other muscle disorders, osteoporosis, ulcerative colitis, stomach ulcers, diverticulitis, or herpes infections of the eyes, glaucoma, or cataracts
- You have a thyroid disorder, congestive heart failure, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, tuberculosis or mental illness
- You are taking anticoagulants, NSAIDS, aspirin, diuretics, insulin, cyclosporine, rifampin, ketoconazole, cyclosporine, seizure medication, or medications to treat depression or mental illness
What are the possible side effects of taking Orapred?
Some individuals have reported side effects after taking Orapred. Less severe side effects include headache, dizziness, nausea, increased sweating, stomach pain, slowly healing wounds, bloating, or dizziness. If any of these conditions persist or worsen, contact a doctor.
Serious side effects requiring immediate medical attention include coughing blood, symptoms of an allergic reaction (hives, rash, itching, fever, difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling of the face, mouth, lips, throat, or tongue), hypertension, drop in potassium levels, bloody or tarry stools, pancreatitis, vision problems, depression, seizures, swelling, rapid increase in weight, or unusual thoughts or behaviors.
What if I forget to take a dose of Orapred?
If a scheduled dose of Orapred medicine is missed, take it as soon as you remember and are able. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, skip the one missed and take the next one at the regular time. Do not increase the number of doses or change the dosing pattern to make up for one that was missed.
How do I store Orapred?
Keep Orapred tightly sealed in its original packaging, out of the reach of children and away from the extremes of temperature and humidity. Do not allow the Orapred solution to freeze; do not let the disintegrating tabs get wet. Dispose of any unused or expired doses according to the instructions of a pharmacist.
