Pharmacodynamics

Corticosteroids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, inhibiting pro-inflammatory signals, and promoting anti-inflammatory signals.2 Prednisolone has a short duration of action as the half life is 2-4 hours.5,6 Corticosteroids have a wide therapeutic window as patients make require doses that are multiples of what the body naturally produces.2 Patients taking corticosteroids should be counselled regarding the risk of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression and increased susceptibility to infections.2

Mechanism of action

The short term effects of corticosteroids are decreased vasodilation and permeability of capillaries, as well as decreased leukocyte migration to sites of inflammation.2 Corticosteroids binding to the glucocorticoid receptor mediates changes in gene expression that lead to multiple downstream effects over hours to days.2

Glucocorticoids inhibit neutrophil apoptosis and demargination; they inhibit phospholipase A2, which decreases the formation of arachidonic acid derivatives; they inhibit NF-Kappa B and other inflammatory transcription factors; they promote anti-inflammatory genes like interleukin-10.2

Lower doses of corticosteroids provide an anti-inflammatory effect, while higher doses are immunosuppressive.2 High doses of glucocorticoids for an extended period bind to the mineralocorticoid receptor, raising sodium levels and decreasing potassium levels.2

Absorption

A 30mg prednisolone oral solution reaches a Cmax of 461.33±77.94ng/mL with an AUC of 2426.1±360.0ng*h/mL.7 A 30mg prednisolone orally disintegrating tablet reaches a Cmax of 420.91±78.28ng/mL with an AUC of 2408.1±361.5ng*h/mL.7

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution of prednisolone phosphate has been reported as 0.22-0.7L/kg.7

Protein binding

Prednisolone is 70-90% protein bound in plasma.6 Prednisolone typically binds to albumin and corticosteroid binding globulin.3,4

Metabolism

Prednisolone phosphate undergoes ester hydrolysis to prednisolone.1 After this step, the drug undergoes the normal metabolism of prednisolone.

Route of elimination

Prednisolone is predominantly eliminated in the urine as sulfate and glucuronide conjugate metabolites.6

Half-life

The half life of prednisolone is 2-4 hours.6

Toxicity

Data regarding acute overdose is not readily available.6 However, patients experiencing chronic overdose may present with mental symptoms, moon face, abnormal fat deposits, and fluid retention.6 Acute oral overdose may be treated with immediate gastric lavage or emesis followed by symptomatic and supportive treatment.6 Chronic overdosage can be managed by temporary dose reduction or alternate day treatment.6
