What is Perilon 5mg?
Perilon 5mg is a synthetic corticosteroid (glucocorticoid) medication containing Prednisolone BP 5mg. It is manufactured by Hovid Bhd. in Malaysia and imported to Nigeria by Phamatex Nigeria Limited. This medication is widely trusted for its potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
Perilon Tablets Uses
Perilon tablets are indicated for a wide range of conditions that require systemic treatment to reduce inflammation or suppress an overactive immune response. Common uses include:

Allergic Reactions: Management of severe skin allergies, drug reactions, and serum sickness.
Respiratory Health: Relief for acute asthma exacerbations and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by reducing airway swelling.
Inflammatory Conditions: Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus (SLE), and various forms of joint inflammation.
Skin Disorders: Effective for severe eczema, psoriasis, and pemphigus.
Eye and Blood Disorders: Used for certain inflammatory eye conditions and autoimmune blood disorders.

How Perilon Works
The active ingredient, Prednisolone, mimics the effects of hormones naturally produced by the adrenal glands. It works by inhibiting the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, thereby reducing swelling, redness, and pain.
Safety and Administration
Perilon is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). It must be used strictly as directed by your healthcare provider.

Administration: It is generally recommended to take the tablets with or after food to prevent stomach irritation.
Gradual Tapering: Never stop taking Perilon suddenly if you have been on it for more than a few days. Your doctor will provide a tapering schedule to allow your body to adjust.
Pharmacist Advice: For more information on how to manage your medication, you can contact a Meddylab pharmacist online for expert guidance.

Possible Side Effects
While effective, long-term use of steroids can lead to side effects such as increased appetite, weight gain, or mood changes. Always report unusual symptoms to your doctor immediately.
