site of your condition<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take special care with Precortalon a quorum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have or have had any of the following conditions, tell your doctor in advance, as further examinations may be necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>osteoporosis<\/li><li>newly inserted\u00a0anastomosis\u00a0(the surgical connection between

previous\u00a0allergy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Precortalon a quorum should not be used in the treatment of complications after severe head injuries or\u00a0strokes, this is because you probably have no benefit from the treatment and it can even be harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suffer from fever or stress, the\u00a0dose\u00a0of Precortalon a quorum should be increased.\u00a0Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During treatment with Precortalon a quorum in growing children, the doctor should monitor the growth and body development of the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precortalon a quorum may interfere with certain vaccinations.\u00a0You should preferably avoid vaccinations with a live vaccine during treatment with Precortalon a quorum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During treatment with Precortalon a quorum, tell your doctor or nurse that you are receiving this medicine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>before you are vaccinated or undergo a skin test<\/li><li>before undergoing surgery<\/li><li>if you have a severe&nbsp;infection&nbsp;or ulcer<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use of other medicines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note: the following remarks may apply to medicines that you have been taking for a while or that you will be taking shortly.\u00a0Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, will be taking, or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact your doctor if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You also use:<ul><li>drugs used in the treatment of\u00a0epilepsy\u00a0and as fast-acting anesthetics (\u00a0phenytoin, carbamazepine, and\u00a0barbiturates\u00a0as phenobarbital)<\/li><li>drugs for bacterial infection (rifampicin).<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These medicines may reduce the effect of Precortalon a quorum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>salicylates (as&nbsp;acetylsalicylic acid&nbsp;)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If\u00a0dose\u00a0one of Precortalon a quorum is to be reduced, this should be done with caution to avoid salicylate poisoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term treatment can lead to reduced weight in the placenta or baby and there is a risk of reduced activity in the newborn baby&#8217;s adrenal glands.\u00a0Use Precortalon a quorum during pregnancy only if your doctor has told you to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prednisolone&nbsp;is excreted in small amounts in breast milk, but the risk of affecting the baby seems unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No effect on the ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened vigilance.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO USE PRECORTALON AQUOSUM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>The injections&nbsp;must be given by a doctor or nurse.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dosage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dose\u00a0one is determined by the severity of your medical condition, how you react to the treatment, and which injection site is chosen.\u00a0The doctor will decide the appropriate\u00a0dose\u00a0and it may be necessary to change the\u00a0dose\u00a0during treatment, depending on your symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Systemic therapy<\/em>: Usually 25 mg (1 ml) is given 1-4 times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Treatment in or around joints:<\/em>&nbsp;Usually 12.5\u201325 mg (0.5\u20131 ml) is given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rectal (in the rectum):<\/em>&nbsp;12.5\u201325 mg (0.5\u20131 ml) in 60\u2013150 ml saline solution is given once a day or every other day in courses of 10\u201320 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method of administration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How an\u00a0injection\u00a0is to be given depends on your disease state and where in the body it is located.\u00a0The injection\u00a0can, for example, be given directly into the blood, into muscle tissue, into the subcutaneous tissue, or a joint.\u00a0The solution for injection can also be mixed with saline and given as an\u00a0infusion\u00a0or via the rectum (\u00a0enema\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice that you are either getting too strong or insufficient effect from Precortalon a quorum, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you stop using Precortalon a quorum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After long-term treatment with Precortalon a quorum, the\u00a0dose\u00a0must be gradually reduced, as the symptoms you had before treatment may otherwise return.\u00a0Complications can occur more quickly and the body&#8217;s production of adrenal cortex hormones may be reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, Precortalon a quorum can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.\u00a0Among other things,
