What Is Prednisone 20mg?
Prednisone is a prescription corticosteroid that works by lowering inflammation and suppressing immune system activity. It is used for a wide range of conditions, from severe allergic reactions and asthma to rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Many people search for prednisone together with antibiotics such as amoxicillin or azithromycin because providers sometimes prescribe both — the antibiotic treats the infection while prednisone reduces swelling and inflammation. Prednisone does not treat infections on its own and should be taken exactly as directed.
