PredMix Oral Liquid contains 7. Predmix contains the active ingredient prednisolone sodium phosphate 7. It contains excipients with known effect, methyl hydroxybenzoate and propyl hydroxybenzoate.
For the full list of excipients, see Section 6. Predmix is a clear, colourless liquid, free from haze and substantially free from particulate matter. Dosage should be individualised according to severity of condition and response of patient. Physiological replacement. Infantile spasms, intractable epilepsy. Nephrotic syndrome.
Autoimmune liver disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis. Patients with active or doubtfully quiescent tuberculosis should not be given Predmix Oral Liquid except as an adjunct to treatment with tuberculostatic drugs. Systemic fungal infections and known hypersensitivity to prednisolone or any of the excipients.
Scleroderma renal crisis. Caution is required in patients with systemic sclerosis because of an increased incidence of possibly fatal scleroderma renal crisis with hypertension and decreased urinary output observed with a daily dose of 15 mg or more prednisolone. Blood pressure and renal function s-creatinine should therefore be routinely checked. When renal crisis is suspected, blood pressure should be carefully controlled.
Corticosteroids should be used with caution in the presence of diminished cardiac reserve or congestive heart failure, in patients with diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, infectious diseases, chronic renal failure, uraemia, peptic ulcer, osteoporosis, psychoses or severe psychoneuroses and in elderly persons. Corticosteroids may mask some signs of infection such as fever and inflammation , and new infections may appear during their use.
Infections with any pathogen, including viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan, or helminthic infections, in any location in the body, may be associated with the use of corticosteroids alone or in combination with other immunosuppressant agents that affect cellular immunity, humoral immunity, or neutrophil function. These infections may be mild, but can be severe and at times fatal. With increasing doses of corticosteroids, the rate of occurrence of infectious complications increases.
There may be decreased resistance to infection and inability to localise infection when corticosteroids are used. Children who are on immunosuppressant drugs are more susceptible to infection than healthy children.
Chickenpox and measles, for example, can have a more serious course in these children. Particular care should be taken to avoid exposure in these children and immunosuppressed adults. Kaposi's sarcoma has been reported to occur in patients receiving corticosteroid therapy. Discontinuation of corticosteroids may result in clinical remission.
Withdrawal symptoms. During prolonged treatment with corticosteroids, adrenal suppression and atrophy may occur and secretion of corticotrophin may be suppressed.
Sudden withdrawal of Predmix Oral Liquid may then precipitate acute adrenal insufficiency with muscle weakness, hypotension, hypoglycaemia, headache, nausea, vomiting, restlessness and muscle and joint pain.
Muscle weakness and stiff joints may persist for three to six months after treatment has been discontinued. In some instances, withdrawal symptoms may simulate a clinical relapse of the disease for which the patient has been under treatment. Duration of treatment and dosage appear to be important factors in determining suppression of the pituitary-adrenal axis and response to stress on cessation of steroid treatment.
