prednisone and Blepharoptosis

prednisone has been researched along with Blepharoptosis in 45 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.

Blepharoptosis: Drooping of the upper lid due to deficient development or paralysis of the levator palpebrae muscle.
