Methylprednisolone 4 mg tablets are a type of corticosteroid used to manage a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. This medication is effective in treating disorders such as allergies, arthritis, asthma, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, and certain skin conditions. Methylprednisolone works by mimicking the action of natural corticosteroids produced by the adrenal glands, helping to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain.
It is commonly prescribed for both short-term flare-ups and long-term management of chronic conditions. The medication suppresses the immune system, which helps in reducing the symptoms of overactive immune responses, such as swelling, pain, and redness.
Dosage varies based on the condition being treated, and it is important to follow the prescribed regimen to minimize potential side effects, including weight gain, mood changes, and increased susceptibility to infections. Abrupt discontinuation of the medication should be avoided, as it can cause withdrawal symptoms; a gradual reduction of the dose is recommended when stopping the treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider for guidance on proper use and any concerns regarding potential side effects.
