FAQs
Do I need a prescription for Prednicare?
Yes, Prednicare is a prescription-only veterinary medicine and cannot be supplied without a valid prescription from your vet.
Can I give this to my cat and my dog?
Prednicare is formulated for both species, but the dosage will vary significantly based on their weight and condition. Always follow your vet's specific instructions for the individual animal.
Why can't this be shipped to Northern Ireland?
Due to specific regional veterinary medicine regulations, shipping of this product to Northern Ireland is currently restricted.
What should I do if my pet seems lethargic after taking the medication?
While some lethargy may occur, you should report any significant changes in your pet's energy or health status to your veterinarian as soon as possible.
Should I stop giving the medication if my pet looks better?
No. Never stop or alter the dosage of Prednicare without consulting your veterinarian, as it often requires a specific tapering schedule to avoid adverse withdrawal effects.
Troubleshooting
Pet is refusing to take the tablet
Consult your vet about hiding the tablet in a small amount of palatable wet food or a specialized 'pill pocket' treat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting treatment, ensure you have a clear plan from your veterinarian regarding the duration of the course and the dosage schedule. Store the tablets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place out of reach of pets and children. Handle tablets with clean hands and ensure they are given with or without food as specified by your veterinary surgeon. If your pet is currently taking other medications, supplements, or dietary aids, verify with your vet that there are no contraindications with prednisolone. Always check the expiration date on the packaging before use and do not administer tablets if the integrity of the packaging has been compromised.
