Description
Methylprednisolone 4 mg tablets are synthetic glucocorticoids used for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. They modulate gene expression to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppress immune responses. This medication is indicated for a wide range of conditions, including allergic reactions, autoimmune diseases, respiratory disorders, and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.
Each tablet contains 4 mg of methylprednisolone and is typically prescribed in tapering doses over a defined period. The standard regimen often includes a 21-tablet pack to follow a structured dosage reduction schedule. This approach minimizes withdrawal effects and ensures controlled suppression of inflammation.
Adverse effects include fluid retention, hypertension, hyperglycemia, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal irritation, and immunosuppression. Long-term use requires monitoring for adrenal suppression and metabolic disturbances. Patients with infections, diabetes, peptic ulcers, or osteoporosis require careful assessment before initiation.
