prednisone and Coenuri Infection

prednisone has been researched along with Coenuri Infection in 15 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.

"The use of praziquantel in the treatment of cysticercosis is a major step towards eradicating the disease, but to be effective treatment must take cognizance of reinfection, the allergic reaction caused by the dying parasites, and the possible need for repeated courses of treatment."1.27Neurocysticercosis--a comprehensive approach to medical treatment.
