   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I understand prednisone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and suppresses overactive immune responses
   • I understand it may be prescribed for asthma/COPD flares, allergic reactions, autoimmune, severe inflammation, or other inflammatory disorders
   • I understand this medication can affect blood sugar, mood, sleep, blood pressure, and infection risk
   • I will not stop prednisone suddenly without medical guidance (especially if taken more than a few days)
   • I store this medication safely and keep it out of reach of children
