CompositionOmnacortil-40 Tablet is used to treat severe inflammatory and allergic conditions such as acute asthma, autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, severe skin conditions, and to prevent organ transplant rejection. It helps reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response.
It contains prednisolone, a potent corticosteroid. Take it with food, ideally in the morning. Never stop it suddenly if you have been taking it for more than a few days. Your doctor will provide a gradual tapering schedule to reduce the dose safely.
Long-term use can affect the bones and immune system. Your doctor may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements, bone-protective treatment if needed, and a balanced diet. Avoid close contact with chickenpox or measles if you have not had them, and report any signs of infection promptly.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, mental health conditions, or glaucoma, as steroids can affect these. Tell your doctor about sudden mood changes, blurred vision, or unusual weight gain. Carry a steroid card if your doctor advises it. Speak to your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
