Medrol 4 Tablet

Drug | Tablet

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.
