The ATX H02AB06 code

the Pharmacological

Pharmacokinetics At properties intake Prednisolonum is well soaked up from digestive tract. The maximum concentration in blood is reached in 11.5 h after oral administration. Up to 90% of drug contacts proteins of plasma: transcortinum (kortizolsvyazyvayushchy globulin) and albumine. Prednisolonum is metabolized in a liver, partially in kidneys and other fabrics, generally by conjugation with glucuronic and sulfuric acids. Metabolites are inactive.

It is removed with bile and kidneys by glomerular filtration and for 80-90% it reabsorbirutsya by tubules. 20% of a dose are removed by kidneys in not changed look. Plasma elimination half-life after oral administration makes 2-4 hours.

A pharmacodynamics

Prednisolonum – synthetic glucocorticosteroid drug, the dehydrogenated hydrocortisone analog. Has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, immunodepressive effect, antishock action, increases sensitivity of beta adrenoceptors to endogenous catecholamines.

Interacts with specific cytoplasmatic receptors (receptors for glucocorticosteroids (GKS) are in all fabrics, especially their is a lot of in a liver) with formation of the complex inducing formation of proteins (including the enzymes regulating the vital processes in cells).

The anti-inflammatory effect is connected with release oppression by eosinophils and mast cells of mediators of inflammation, induction of formation of lipokortin and reduction of quantity of the mast cells producing hyaluronic acid with reduction of permeability of capillaries, stabilization of cellular membranes (especially lizosomalny) and membranes of organellas. Affects all stages of inflammatory process: inhibits synthesis of prostaglandins (Pg) at the level of arachidonic acid (lipokortin oppresses A2 phospholipase, suppresses a liberation of arachidonic acid and inhibits biosynthesis of endoperoxides, the leukotrienes promoting processes of inflammation, an allergy, etc.), synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin 1, tumor necrosis factor an alpha, etc.) increases resistance of a cellular membrane to action of various disturbing factors.

Protein metabolism: reduces amount of globulins in plasma, increases synthesis of albumine in a liver and kidneys (with increase in coefficient albumine/globulin), reduces synthesis and strengthens catabolism of protein in muscle tissue.

Lipidic exchange: increases synthesis of higher fatty acids and triglycerides, redistributes fat (accumulation of fat happens mainly in the field of a shoulder girdle, a face, a stomach), leads ment of a hypercholesterolemia.

Carbohydrate metabolism: increases absorption of carbohydrates from digestive tract, increases activity of glyukozo-6-phosphatase (increase in intake of glucose from a liver in blood), increases activity of a fosfoenolpiruvatkarboksikinaza and synthesis of aminotransferases (activation of a gluconeogenesis), contributes to the development of a hyperglycemia.

Water eletrolitny exchange: detains ions of sodium (Na+) and water in an organism, stimulates removal of potassium ions (K+) (mineralokortikosteroidny activity), reduces absorption of calcium ions (Ca2+) from digestive tract, causes washing away of calcium ions from bones and increase in its renal excretion, reduces a mineralization of a bone tissue.

The immunosuppressive effect is caused the adenoid tissue caused by involution, oppression of proliferation of lymphocytes (especially T lymphocytes), suppression of migration of V-cells and interactions of T – and V-lymphocytes, slowing down of release of cytokines (interleukin-1, 2, gamma interferon) from lymphocytes and macrophages and decrease in antibody formation.

The antiallergic effect develops as a result of decrease in synthesis and secretion of mediators of an allergy, slowing down of release from sensitized mast cells and basophiles of a histamine, etc. biologically active agents, reduction of number of the circulating basophiles, suppression of development of adenoid and connective tissue, reduction of number of T – and V-lymphocytes, mast cells, decrease in sensitivity of effector cells to mediators of an allergy, oppression of antibodyformation, change of the immune response of an organism.

In obstructive respiratory diseases the action is caused, mainly, by slowing down of inflammatory processes, prevention or reduction of severity of hypostasis of mucous membranes, decrease in eosinophilic infiltration of a submucosal layer of an epithelium of bronchial tubes and adjournment in mucous bronchial tubes of the circulating cell-bound immune complexes and also braking of an erozirovaniye and desquamation of a mucous membrane. Increases sensitivity of beta adrenoceptors of bronchial tubes of small and average caliber to endogenous catecholamines and exogenous sympathomimetics, reduces viscosity of slime due to reduction of its products.

Suppresses synthesis and secretion of AKTG and again – synthesis of endogenous GKS.

the Route of administration and doses

the Dose of drug and duration of treatment is established by the doctor individually depending on indications and disease severity.

It is recommended to accept all daily dose of drug once or a double daily dose – every other day taking into account a circadian rhythm of endogenous secretion of glucocorticosteroids in the range from 6 up to 8 o’clock in the morning. The high daily dose can be distributed on 2-4 receptions, at the same time in the mornings it is necessary to accept a high dose. A pill should be taken inside in time or directly after a meal, washing down with a small amount of liquid.

At acute conditions and as replacement therapy by the adult appoint 20-30 mg/days in an initial dose, the maintenance dose makes 5-10 mg/days. If necessary the initial dose can make 15-100 mg/days, supporting – 5-15 mg/days.

For children since 3 years the initial dose is also more senior makes 1-2 mg/kg of body weight a day in 4-6 receptions, supporting – 0.3-0.6 mg/kg/days.

When obtaining therapeutic effect the dose is gradually reduced on 5 mg, then on 2.5 mg with intervals in 3-5 days, canceling at first later receptions. At long administration of drug the daily dose should be reduced gradually. Long therapy cannot be stopped suddenly! Cancellation of a maintenance dose is carried out by that more slowly, than glucocorticosteroid therapy was longer performed.

At stressful influences (infection, allergic reaction, an injury, operation, a nervous stress) in order to avoid exacerbation of a basic disease the dose of Prednisolonum has to be temporarily increased (in 1.5-3, and in hard cases – at 5-10 times).

Side effects

Medicinal interactions

Simultaneous use of Prednisolonum with:

inductors of liver microsomal enzymes (phenobarbital, rifampicin, Phenytoinum, theophylline, ephedrine) leads to decrease in its concentration,

diuretics (especially thiazide and inhibitors of a karboangidraza) and Amphotericinum B can lead to strengthening of removal from an organism of ions of K+,

with natriysoderzhashchy drugs – ment of hypostases and increase in arterial blood pressure,

Amphotericinum B – risk of developing heart failure increases,

cardiac glycosides – their shipping worsens and the likelihood of developing ventricular premature ventricular contraction (because of the caused hypopotassemia),

indirect anticoagulants raises – weakens (strengthens) their action less often (dose adjustment is required)

anticoagulants and trombolitika – risk of developing bleedings from ulcers in digestive tract increases,

ethanol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NPVP) – the risk of developing of erosive cankers in digestive tract amplifies and development of bleedings (in a combination with NPVP at treatment of arthritises the dose decline of glucocorticosteroids because of summation of therapeutic effect),

paracetamol – increases risk of development of hepatotoxicity (induction of liver enzymes and formation of a toxic metabolite of paracetamol),

acetylsalicylic acid – accelerates its removal and reduces concentration in blood (is possible at Prednisolonum cancellation the level of salicylates in blood increases and increases risk of development of by-effects),

insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs, antihypertensives – decreases their efficiency,

vitamin D – decreases its influence on absorption of calcium ions (Ca 2+) in intestines,

somatotropic hormone – reduces efficiency of the last, and with prazikvantely – its concentration,

M-holinoblokatorami (including antihistaminic drugs and tricyclic antidepressants with m-holinoblokiruyushchey activity) and nitrates – promotes increase in intraocular pressure,

an isoniazid and meksiletiny – increases their metabolism (especially at slow acetylizers) that leads to decrease in their plasma concentration.

Inhibitors of a karboangidraza and loopback diuretics can increase risk of developing osteoporosis.

Indometacin, forcing out Prednisolonum from communication with albumine, increases risk of development of its side effects.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (AKTG) strengthens effect of Prednisolonum.

Ergocalciferol and parathormone interfere with development of the osteopathy caused by Prednisolonum.

Cyclosporine and ketokonazol, slowing down Prednisolonum metabolism, can increase its toxicity in some cases.

Simultaneous use of androgens and steroid anabolic drugs with Prednisolonum contributes to the development of peripheral hypostases and a hirsutism, appearance of eels.

Are oestrogenic and oral estrogensoderzhashchy contraceptives reduce clearance of Prednisolonum that can be followed by strengthening of expressiveness of its action.

Mitotanum and other inhibitors of function of bark of adrenal glands can cause need of increase in a dose of Prednisolonum.

At simultaneous use with live antiviral vaccines and against the background of other types of immunizations – increases risk of activation of viruses and development of infections.

Antipsychotic means (neuroleptics) and Azathioprinum increase risk of developing a cataract at Prednisolonum use.

Immunodepressants increase risk of developing infections and a lymphoma or other limfoproliferativny disturbances caused by Epstein’s virus – Barrel.

Simultaneous use of antacids reduces Prednisolonum absorption.

At simultaneous use with anti-thyroid drugs decreases, and with thyroid hormones – the clearance of Prednisolonum increases.

Special instructions

Before an initiation of treatment (at impossibility because of a state urgentnost in the course of treatment) the patient has to be examined regarding identification of possible contraindications. Clinical inspection has to include a research of a cardiovascular system, X-ray inspection of lungs, a research of a stomach and duodenum, the system of urination, organs of sight, control of a blood count, content of glucose and electrolytes in blood plasma.

During treatment by Prednisolonum (especially long) observation of the oculist, control of arterial blood pressure, a condition of water and electrolytic balance and also a picture of peripheral blood and concentration of glucose of blood is necessary.

For the purpose of reduction of by-effects it is possible to apply antacids and also to increase receipt of potassium ions (K+) in an organism (diet, potassium drugs). Food has to be protein-rich, vitamins, with restriction of content of fats, carbohydrates and table salt.

Effect of drug amplifies at patients with a hypothyroidism and cirrhosis. Drug can enhance the existing emotional instability or psychotic disturbances. At the instruction on psychoses in the anamnesis Prednisolonum in high doses is applied under stringent control of the doctor.

In stressful situations during the supporting treatment (for example, surgeries, an injury or infectious diseases) it is necessary to carry out dose adjustment of drug in connection with increase in need for glucocorticosteroids. It is necessary to watch carefully patients within a year after the end of long therapy with Prednisolonum in connection with possible development of relative insufficiency of bark of adrenal glands in stressful situations.

At sudden cancellation, especially in case of the previous use of high doses, development of a withdrawal (anorexia, nausea, block, generalized musculoskeletal pains, the general weakness) and also exacerbation of a disease concerning which Prednisolonum was appointed is possible.

During treatment it is not necessary to carry out by Prednisolonum vaccination in connection with decrease in its efficiency (immune response).

Applying Prednisolonum in intercurrent infections, septic states and tuberculosis, it is necessary to carry out treatment by antibiotics of bactericidal action at the same time.

At children during long-term treatment by Prednisolonum careful observation of dynamics of growth and development is necessary. To children who during treatment were in contact with patients with measles or chicken pox preventively apply specific immunoglobulins.

Owing to weak mineralokortikosteroidny effect to replacement therapy at adrenal insufficiency Prednisolonum is applied in a combination from mineralokortikosteroida.

At patients with diabetes it is necessary to control the content of glucose of blood and if necessary to korrigirovat therapy.

Radiological control of a bone and articulate system (pictures of a backbone, a brush) is shown.

Prednisolonum with latent infectious diseases of kidneys and urinary tract is capable to cause a leukocyturia in patients that can have diagnostic value.

Prednisolonum increases the maintenance of metabolites of 11 and 17-oxyketocorticosteroids.

Pregnancy and a lactation

At pregnancy in I and II trimester apply only according to vital indications.

At long therapy during pregnancy there is a fruit growth disorder. In the III trimester of pregnancy the fruit has a danger of emergence of an atrophy of bark of adrenal glands that can demand performing replacement therapy of the newborn.

As glucocorticosteroids pass into breast milk, in case of need uses of drug during breastfeeding, feeding by a breast is recommended to be stopped.

The feature of influence of medicine on ability to run the vehicle or potentially dangerous mechanisms

during use needs to refrain from control of motor transport and occupations potentially dangerous types of activity demanding the increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Overdose

strengthening of dose-dependent by-effects is possible. It is necessary to reduce Prednisolonum dose. Symptomatic treatment.
