About prednisone

What is prednisone?
Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid that mimics hormones your body’s adrenal glands naturally produce. Prednisone is commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and lower immune system activity. Providers use it to treat a wide range of conditions, including asthma, arthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, and allergic reactions.

Prednisone is a short-term treatment for acute flare-ups and a long-term solution for chronic autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. It works by preventing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. While highly effective, it must be taken under medical supervision due to potential side effects, especially with long-term use.

Prednisone is available in oral tablets, delayed-release tablets, and liquid forms. Common brand names include Deltasone, Sterapred, Sterapred DS, Predone, Orasone, and Rayos (delayed release). A licensed healthcare provider will determine the best format and dosage for your specific condition. If you're experiencing persistent inflammation, talk to a provider on Klarity to find out whether prednisone is appropriate for you.

How to get a Prednisone prescription online?

You can get a prednisone prescription online if medically appropriate after being carefully evaluated by a telehealth provider. Here’s how it works:

  • Step 1: Complete a short health intake form to describe your symptoms and medical history.
  • Step 2: Choose a time to meet virtually with a board-certified healthcare provider.
  • Step 3: During your appointment, your provider will evaluate whether prednisone is appropriate.
  • Step 4: If approved, your prescription will be sent electronically to your preferred local or online pharmacy – often the same day.

Prednisone is a prescription-only medication, meaning it’s not legally available over the counter in the U.S. The Klarity platform connects you with licensed providers who follow clinical guidelines to ensure prednisone is used safely. If prednisone isn’t appropriate, your provider can suggest an alternative.

How does Prednisone compare to other medications?

Prednisone is one of several corticosteroids used to manage inflammation and immune-related conditions. Here’s how it compares to similar medications:

MedicationClassDurationCommon UsesOral Availability
PrednisoneCorticosteroidIntermediate-actingAutoimmune, respiratory, allergicYes
MethylprednisoloneCorticosteroidIntermediate-actingArthritis, asthma, severe allergiesYes
HydrocortisoneCorticosteroidShort-actingAdrenal insufficiencyYes
DexamethasoneCorticosteroidLong-actingCerebral edema, severe inflammationYes

Prednisone is often preferred for its balance of potency and duration, making it good for both short and long-term use. Other corticosteroids may be chosen based on specific needs, such as rapid onset or longer-lasting effects, or how they must be administered.
