Prednisone is available under various brand names, but its generic form is simply “prednisone.” This means you can find it at lower costs with the generic version.
While specific brand names vary by country and region, some common examples include Rayos and Prednicot. Always confirm with your pharmacist about available options in your area.
Generic prednisone contains the same active ingredient and works identically to brand-name versions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rigorously tests generics for bioequivalence, ensuring they perform the same as their brand-name counterparts.
The choice between brand and generic often comes down to cost. Generic prednisone is typically significantly cheaper. Discuss this with your doctor and pharmacist to make the best decision for your individual needs and budget.
Remember to consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication, including prednisone, and always follow their dosage instructions carefully.
