About Rapicort 5mg Tablet
Rapicort 5mg Tablet contains Prednisolone 5mg, a synthetic corticosteroid that suppresses the immune system to control a wide range of inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune conditions. It rapidly reduces swelling, redness, pain, and itching caused by the body's excessive immune response.
Rapicort 5mg is prescribed for conditions including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, skin allergies, ulcerative colitis, lupus, and severe allergic reactions. It is one of the most widely used corticosteroids in Pakistan for short-term symptom control and long-term disease management when used with appropriate tapering protocols.
Important: Never stop Prednisolone suddenly after prolonged use — always follow your doctor's tapering schedule to allow adrenal glands to recover. Available nationwide in Pakistan with same-day delivery in Lahore. Contact: WhatsApp +92-320-5999650 or sales@derma.pk.
