Need spelling help

By any chance, does anyone know the proper name (i.e., spelling) of an immunosuppressant that sounds like per-FIN-er-ol. The person who said it is notorious for mispronouncing medical words, so it may be missing a syllable or two. I have tried every conceivable spelling in Google, but Google's not coughing up anything.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

For immunosuppressants I could find only Prednisolone, Azathioprene, Cyclophosphamide, Cyclosporine, and Tacrolimus.

I used Google to find an immunosuppressant drug with the brand name Neoral which may be a lead.

I could, but won't, ask, "Who gives a rat's ***?"
Doctors. Half of them should be shot for all the good they do. I put them in the same bag as all lawyers, my grandfather and Bob excluded.

Believe me, Judy, Demon Jo would much prefer making fun of the person than learning the correct spelling. Makes her bigger, you see.

Because it's a deposition transcript, and the court reporter is no longer in the person's physical presence.
The context, such as it is, was this (they're talking about treating ulcerative colitis):
Q. Well, they can give you steroids, but they can also give you something else. They can give you immunosuppressants, can't

I don't think prednisone and prednisolone are the same molecule, and I'm pretty sure both are generic names. Prednisolone should have an extra hydroxy somewhere.
