prednisone and Amyotonia Congenita

prednisone has been researched along with Amyotonia Congenita in 29 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

( Cook, JD; Engel, WK; Sciabbarrasi, JS; Trotter, JL, 1978)

"In fact, multiple sclerosis was considered the most likely diagnosis in each of these patients before diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome, and each patient met criteria for definite multiple sclerosis."1.27Primary Sjögren's syndrome with central nervous system disease mimicking multiple sclerosis. ( Alexander, EL; Alexander, GE; Jerdan, MS; Lejewski, JE; Malinow, K; Provost, TT, 1986)
