Hello, Your mom has been prescribed the above-mentioned tablets for treatment of poly articular arthritis. Omnacortil is a steroid to reduce the inflammation. HY Chat Doctor.  In simple terms your mom is clinically diagnosed to have poly articular arthritis (small joint pain and inflammation) and this is due to autoimmune destruction of joints. So these tablets will reduce the inflammation and control the disease. Only thing omnacortil tablets should not be taken for long period. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
