Rx Prednisone (Generic) Tablets for Dogs

Rx Prednisone Tablets, USP, for Dogs

Prednisone is a prescription corticosteroid used in dogs to reduce inflammation and manage conditions that respond to steroid therapy.

Depending on the diagnosis, it may also be used for immune-mediated diseases and certain cancers.
