Etymology

Prelone is a brand name made from the drug name prednisolone, so it is a short, easy form of that medicine's name. A helpful way to remember it is to think of pre- like 'before' and the -lone ending like other medicine names, and that's why Prelone refers to a drug doctors use to reduce swelling and allergic reactions.
