	Prednisone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone, which is the active drug and a steroid.

		For this reason, prednisone should not be stopped abruptly if taken for longer than seven days, but needs to be reduced slowly; this reduction may be over a few days if the course of prednisolone was short, but may take weeks or months if the patient has been on long-term treatment.
