Prednisolone Soluble & Enteric-Coated Tablets – Full Formulation Range

This grouped product includes both Prednisolone soluble tablets and enteric-coated (EC) prednisolone tablets, offering flexibility for patients and prescribers across a range of clinical needs:

• Soluble Tablets (5 mg): Dissolves in water for easy oral dosing—ideal for patients with swallowing difficulties, fine-bore enteral tubes, or needing non-tablet forms. Licensed formulation; higher unit cost (≈ £1.78/tab) but ensures dose accuracy.

• Enteric-Coated (EC) Tablets (2.5 mg & 5 mg): Deltacortril‑brand gastro-resistant prednisolone coated to release in the jejunum, reducing gastric irritation and risk of ulceration. Not on most NHS formularies due to limited advantage and increased cost
