Prednisolone (40 mg), the active ingredient in Omnacortil-40 Tablet, operates in the body as follows:

• Anti-inflammatory: Prednisolone acts to limit inflammation in the body. It does this by inhibiting the build-up of inflammatory cells and curtailing the release of enzymes that can damage tissues.

• Immunosuppressive: This medicine reduces activity within your body's lymphatic system. This dampens immune responses which can be excessive in auto-immune disorders, thus leading to lymphocytopenia or a decrease in certain types of white blood cells.

• Metabolic Alterations: Prednisolone modifies various metabolic processes in your body such as gluconeogenesis (production of glucose), protein catabolism (breakdown of proteins), lipolysis (breakdown of fats) and urinary calcium excretion. These actions contribute to the overall effects of the medication.

• Keep Omnacortil-40 Tablet in a cool and dry place, where the temperature is below 30°C.

• Safeguard it from light and moisture to ensure its efficacy is not compromised.

• Make sure the medicine is out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.

• Always check the expiry date on the packet and do not use it past that date.

• If you're taking Omnacortil-40 Tablet for an inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, try to consume a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. This will help manage your symptoms and support your overall health.

• For those using Omnacortil-40 Tablet due to a rheumatic disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis, regular low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling can help improve joint flexibility and reduce stiffness.
