Both Xilone Syrup and Xilone Forte Syrup are used to reduce inflammation and treat a variety of medical conditions that respond to corticosteroids. The primary difference between them lies in the concentration of the active ingredient, prednisolone, resulting in differences in the recommended dosage, age groups, and conditions for which each is used.
Xilone Syrup Ingredients
Xilone Syrup contains the active ingredient prednisolone at a concentration of 5 mg per 5 ml. Prednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid with powerful anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. It works by inhibiting the release of chemicals that cause inflammation in the body.
Xilone Forte Syrup Ingredients
Xilone Forte Syrup also contains the active ingredient prednisolone, but at a higher concentration of 15 mg per 5 ml. This higher concentration often allows for lower doses or fewer administrations to achieve the same therapeutic effect and is generally suitable for adults and older children who require higher doses.
