Benefits of Kidpred Syrup for your child
In Treatment of Inflammatory conditions
Kidpred Syrup helps in the treatment of a wide variety of inflammatory conditions such as asthma, severe allergic reactions, juvenile arthritis, uveitis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease. Kidpred Syrup works by inhibiting the secretion of chemicals that cause inflammation like prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
In Treatment of Autoimmune conditions
Kidpred Syrup has been found useful in organ transplantation and in treating several autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, connective tissue disease, skin disorders, nephrotic syndrome, acute interstitial nephritis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Kidpred Syrup stops the release of chemical messengers (interleukins) that are required for the multiplication of white blood cells (WBC) in the body. By doing so, it suppresses the body’s immune system and disables it from acting against the body’s organ systems. This helps in reducing symptoms such as swelling, pain, itching, and other allergic-type reactions. It is important to know that this medicine may weaken your child’s immune system, so you should keep your child away from other people who are ill or have infections.

FAQs
Is Kidpred Syrup a steroid?
Yes, Kidpred Syrup is a steroid medicine also known as glucocorticoids which occur naturally in the body. These glucocorticoids help to maintain health and wellbeing. Kidpred Syrup increases the corticosteroids levels in the body which helps in treating various illnesses involving inflammation (redness, tenderness, heat, and swelling).
Are there any serious side effects while my child is on Kidpred Syrup?
We use medicines to make our children better, but sometimes they may cause some unwanted side effects. However, the occurrence of side effects in the case of short-term use is not commonly observed. Side effects are more likely to appear in case of high dose, increased dose, or any long-term use. The doctor will use the lowest possible dose for as little time as possible to avoid side effects.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Kidpred Syrup?
Kidpred Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Kidpred Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Kidpred Syrup?
It is advised not to get your child vaccinated while they are on treatment with Kidpred Syrup. Let your child recover from the ongoing illness and finish the complete course of the medicine. As soon as a child feels better, even if he or she is on antibiotics, the vaccine can be given after consulting the doctor.
In what conditions should I avoid giving Kidpred Syrup to my child?
Avoid giving Kidpred Syrup if your child is suffering from conditions like cardiac disease or congestive heart failure (except in the presence of active rheumatic carditis), hypertension, thromboembolic disorders, or diabetes mellitus. Kidpred Syrup should also be avoided if your child has a family history of active TB, active herpes infection, osteoporosis, myasthenia gravis, or renal insufficiency.
How can I store Kidpred Syrup at home?
Keep the medicine in a cool dry place out of the reach of children and pets. This will help avoid any accidental intake.
Can Kidpred Syrup cause any behavioral problems?
One of the potential side effects of corticosteroid medicine is mood change, such as irritability which can lead to difficult behavior in some children. When used for the short term, it can increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, causing some children to become hyperactive. For this reason, it is always recommended to give Kidpred Syrup in the morning, so there is less impact on sleep.
