Drug Name Synthroid

Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. It is used to treat certain inflammatory diseases and (at higher doses) cancer, but has significant adverse effects. Because it suppresses the immune system, it leaves patients more susceptible to infections.
