Broken_man is correct. It is prednisone. Prednisone is a corticosteroid hormone. It decreases your immune system's response to various diseases. It reduces symptoms such as swelling and allergic-type reactions. It is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, blood disorders, breathing problems, certain cancers, eye problems, immune system diseases, and skin diseases.  I looked this up on WebMD. It has a section called pill identifier that tells you what the pill is. It also tells you the uses of the drug, the side effects, precautions, and drug interactions. I use WebMd for all sorts of medical questions. Good luck.    Scooter
