Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and suppresses the immune system. Prednisone is prescribed for a wide range of conditions, especially autoimmune diseases. These include, among many others, arthritis, gout, lupus, psoriasis, asthma attacks, severe allergies and multiple sclerosis. Despite prednisoneâs many uses and effectiveness, it is known to cause many side effects.
Prednisone is prescribed to treat many different types of inflammatory conditions, everything from skin rashes to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). 1  Prednisone may be given for only a short time, such as over a few days to much longer periods. Some people who take prednisone for chronic conditions have trouble stopping the drug because the symptoms return every time the dose is lowered. This is called steroid-dependent, and most physicians agree it's not an optimal form of treatment.
