Methylprednisolone 4 mg
Used to treat inflammatory and autoimmune conditions such as allergies, asthma exacerbations, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, skin disorders (eczema/dermatitis), inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions where suppression of inflammation and immune response is needed.
Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and decreasing immune system activity. It helps relieve swelling, redness, itching, and allergic symptoms in steroid-responsive conditions.
Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, preferably with food or milk to reduce stomach upset. Take at the same time each day; if on a tapering schedule, follow it strictly and do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
Common side effects of Medrol 4 Tablet may include:
Schedule H: use only on prescription. Do not stop abruptly—risk of adrenal suppression; tapering may be required.

Use caution in diabetes, hypertension, peptic ulcer disease, osteoporosis, glaucoma/cataract, thyroid disorders, liver disease, and in elderly. Avoid live vaccines during high-dose/systemic therapy. Long-term use may cause Cushingoid features, bone loss, muscle weakness, and growth suppression in children; regular monitoring may be needed.
