Description
Indications
Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid hormone prescribed for the treatment of various conditions, including arthritis, blood disorders, severe allergic reactions, specific cancers, eye conditions, skin, kidney, intestinal and lung diseases, and immune system disorders. By reducing the immune system’s response to disease, this medication alleviates symptoms such as swelling, pain, and allergic-type reactions.
Uses and Dosage
Administer this medication orally according to your doctor’s instructions, typically with food or milk. Adhere closely to your dosage guidelines, as the dose and duration of treatment depend on your medical condition and response to therapy.
Multiple dosing schedules are available for this medication. If you do not take the same amount daily or if you take this medication every other day, consider using a calendar reminder.
Do not increase your dose or use this drug more frequently or for a longer duration than prescribed. Your condition will not improve more quickly, and your likelihood of experiencing side effects will increase.

If you abruptly cease using this medication, you may experience withdrawal symptoms. To reduce the risk of withdrawal, your doctor may gradually decrease your dose. Withdrawal is more likely if you have taken methylprednisolone for an extended time or in large amounts. Notify your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you experience withdrawal symptoms.
