Glucocorticoid

In animals, prednisolone and prednisone can be useful to treat hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s disease) and can be used as an anti-inflammatory drug, immunosuppressive drug, and antineoplastic (anticancer) agent. Dosages vary for all of these uses. For many species, including dogs and humans, the two drugs are interchangeable, but cats and horses absorb prednisolone better than prednisone.

The FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) has approved some prednisolone products for use in dogs, cats, and horses. The FDA allows veterinarians to prescribe products containing this drug in different species or for other conditions in certain situations. For other FDA-approved prednisone and prednisolone products for use in humans, the FDA allows veterinarians to prescribe these products in animals in certain situations. You and your veterinarian can discuss why this drug is the most appropriate choice.
