What is Pred-X?

Pred-X is a medication that contains the active ingredient prednisolone, which is a corticosteroid. It is commonly used in veterinary medicine to help manage a variety of conditions in animals, such as inflammation, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and certain types of cancer. Pred-X works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system's response, which can help alleviate symptoms and improve the overall well-being of the animal. Animals may need Pred-X to help control pain, itching, swelling, and other symptoms associated with the conditions mentioned above. It is important to use Pred-X under the guidance of a veterinarian, as it can have potential side effects and should be administered at the appropriate dosage for the specific needs of the animal.

What problems could my pet have with Pred-X?

While Pred-X can be an effective medication for managing various conditions in animals, there are potential side effects and risks associated with its use. Some common problems that pets may experience with Pred-X include: 1. **Increased Thirst and Urination**: Pred-X can cause increased thirst and urination in pets, which may lead to more frequent trips outside or to the litter box. 2. **Weight Gain**: Corticosteroids like prednisolone can sometimes cause weight gain in pets, especially with long-term use. 3. **Suppressed Immune System**: Pred-X works by suppressing the immune system, which can make pets more susceptible to infections and slower to heal from wounds. 4. **Gastrointestinal Issues**: Some pets may experience gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach ulcers while taking Pred-X. 5. **Behavioral Changes**: In some cases, Pred-X can cause changes in behavior, such as increased restlessness or aggression. 6. **Muscle Weakness**: Prolonged use of Pred-X can lead to muscle weakness in pets. 7. **Cushing's Syndrome**: Long-term use of corticosteroids like Pred-X can potentially lead to the development of Cushing's syndrome in pets, which is a hormonal disorder. It is important to closely monitor your pet while they are taking Pred-X and to follow your veterinarian's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. If you notice any concerning symptoms or changes in your pet's behavior while they are on Pred-X, be sure to contact your veterinarian for guidance.

Is there anything I need to know about administering Pred-X?

When administering Pred-X to your pet, it is crucial to follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully. Here are some important points to keep in mind: 1. **Dosage**: Administer the prescribed dosage of Pred-X as directed by your veterinarian. Do not increase or decrease the dosage without consulting your vet. 2. **Timing**: Give Pred-X to your pet at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in their system. 3. **Food**: Pred-X can be given with or without food, but it is generally recommended to give it with a meal to help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal issues. 4. **Monitoring**: Keep a close eye on your pet while they are on Pred-X. Monitor for any side effects or changes in behavior and report them to your veterinarian. 5. **Duration**: Follow the prescribed duration of treatment. Do not stop giving Pred-X to your pet abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. If you need to discontinue the medication, consult your vet for guidance on tapering off the dosage. 6. **Storage**: Store Pred-X in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of pets and children. 7. **Missed Dose**: If you forget to give your pet a dose of Pred-X, give it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Always consult your veterinarian if you have any questions or concerns about administering Pred-X to your pet. Your vet can provide personalized guidance based on your pet's specific needs and condition.

Important information to know when ordering prescription medicines

A prescription is required from your veterinarian before we can supply this product. 

If this is a new prescription, to enable immediate dispensing, please ask the vet to send a copy of the prescription to us prior to mailing it.

If the original prescription is in your possession, then please upload this to your pet's profile in VetRx prior to mailing it.

Please note that we must receive either a copy of the prescription from the vet, or the original prescription before we can dispatch your order. This does unfortunately add to the order processing time, however this is a requirement placed upon all pharmacies by the Health Regulators. 

Only once a conformant electronic prescription system is approved by NSW Health, will we be able to end the need for paper prescriptions.
