What is Rayos?

Rayos contains the prescription medicine prednisone. It is classed as a corticosteroid and is used in the body to stop the normal action of your immune system and to help reduce inflammation.

Rayos is used for the treatment of:

• Allergic conditions – hayfever, skin reactions, reactions to medicines
• Skin (dermatologic) diseases – contact dermatitis, mycosis fungoides, pemphigus
• Gastrointestinal diseases – Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis
• Hematologic diseases – autoimmune hemolytic anemia, pure red cell aplasia, secondary thrombocytopenia in adults
• Pulmonary diseases – asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Specific infectious diseases
• Rheumatologic conditions – gout, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis
• Ophthalmic conditions – uveitis and ocular inflammatory conditions
• Neoplastic conditions – acute leukemia, aggressive lymphomas

This list is not exhaustive and other conditions can be treated with the use of prednisone. Also, it should be noted that prednisone is generally for short-term use, but may be used long-term. If it is used long-term prednisone should not be stopped suddenly. Your doctor will advise you on how to reduce your medicine gradually.

Rayos active ingredients

Prednisone is a synthetic adrenocortical steroid medicine that has mainly corticosteroid-like characteristics. Some of the actions of prednisone on the body are the same as glucocorticoids found naturally in the body however, prednisone does have actions that are not similar to glucocorticoids, and are seen only after large doses of the medicine is given.

Corticosteroid actions of prednisone are:

• Increased gluconeogenesis – the production of sugar for use in the body
• Increase in glycogen storage in the liver
• Reduction in the use of glucose in the body
• Anti-insulin action
• Increased breakdown of proteins
• Increased fat production and storage in the body
• Increase in kidney production of urine

Prednisone reduces the production of certain white blood cells, such as lymphocytes, but can stimulate the production of other white blood cells such as leukocytes. Prednisone can also block the natural wound healing process of the body. Prednisone can cause a reduction of naturally occurring corticosteroids in the body as well as an increase in sodium levels in the body and a reduction of potassium. This can lead to hypertension (high blood pressure).
