In patients on corticosteroid therapy subjected to unusual stress, increased dosage of rapidly acting corticosteroids before, during, and after the stressful situation is indicated. Immunosuppression and Increased Risk of Infection Corticosteroids, including prednisolone oral solution, suppress the immune system and increase the risk of infection with any pathogen including viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan, or helminthic pathogens.

The rate of infectious complications increases with increasing corticosteroid dosages. Monitor for the development of infection and consider prednisolone oral solution withdrawal or dosage reduction as needed. Do not administer prednisolone oral solution by an intraarticular, intrabursal, intratendinous, or intralesional route in the presence of acute local infection.
