About Predkab Syrup

Predkab Syrup is a prescription liquid medicine used to treat various inflammatory and allergic conditions in children. It helps manage severe asthma flare-ups, croup (a common viral infection in children causing a barking cough and hoarseness), severe allergies, and certain immune system disorders. By reducing swelling and calming an overactive immune response, this medicine helps your child breathe easier and recover faster.

It is highly important to give this medicine to your child exactly as prescribed, at the same time every day, to keep a steady level of the medicine in their body. You should always give Predkab Syrup with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. Encouraging your child to rest and drink plenty of fluids during treatment will also support their recovery.

While using Predkab Syrup, your child might experience mild side effects like a temporary increase in appetite, mild stomach upset, or changes in mood. However, if you notice serious signs such as severe stomach pain, unusual fever, changes in vision, or a severe skin rash, contact your doctor immediately.

Do not take this if your child has a known allergy to this medicine or its ingredients, or if they have a widespread fungal infection. Talk to your child's doctor before starting this medicine if your child has a current infection, high blood pressure, kidney issues, or diabetes.

Tell your doctor about all other medicines your child is taking, as certain drugs like water tablets or anti-seizure medicines can change how Predkab Syrup works. Also, speak to your doctor before your child receives any live vaccines while on this medicine. If a caregiver who is pregnant or breastfeeding is handling the medication, they should consult their doctor as well.

How Predkab Syrup Works

This medicine contains prednisolone, which belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids. It mimics a natural hormone produced by your child's adrenal glands. When a child experiences severe allergies or asthma, their body releases chemicals that cause swelling, redness, and irritation. When your child takes Predkab Syrup, the medicine enters the cells and blocks the production of these inflammatory chemicals. At the same time, it calms down the immune system's overreaction. This dual action stops the swelling at its source, providing effective relief throughout the body.

Predkab Syrup is used for Immunosuppression/prevention of Organ rejection, Asthma, Nephrotic syndrome, and Inflammation.
Predkab Syrup works by removing the protein and the extra water in the urine. It prevents organ rejection by suppressing the body's immune response.
If you miss giving a dose to the child, administer the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and administer the next dose at the scheduled time. Avoid doubling the dose.
Yes, in most cases, you can mix the prescribed dose of Predkab Syrup with a small amount of juice, milk, or applesauce if your child dislikes the taste. Make sure your child consumes the entire mixture immediately so they get the full dose. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to confirm if this is suitable for your child's specific treatment.

If your child has been taking Predkab Syrup for more than a few days, their body temporarily stops making its own natural cortisol. Stopping the medicine suddenly can lead to severe tiredness, dizziness, and upset stomach. Your doctor will help you by gradually decreasing the dose to let their body adjust safely.
This depends on the reason your child is taking the medicine and how well they feel. Because Predkab Syrup can temporarily lower the immune system, it is best to keep your child away from anyone who is sick. Talk to your doctor about when it is safe for your child to return to school or daycare.
