Description

Solu-Medrol 40 mg/1 mL is an anti-inflammatory medication presented as a sterile powder in an Act-O-Vial system for reconstitution. The active ingredient is methylprednisolone sodium succinate, a glucocorticoid used to reduce inflammation and modulate immune responses. This formulation allows for rapid mixing and immediate use, facilitating convenient preparation in clinical settings.

When reconstituted, each milliliter of the solution contains 40 mg of methylprednisolone sodium succinate, along with excipients including monobasic sodium phosphate anhydrous, dibasic sodium phosphate dried, and lactose hydrous. The solution must be prepared according to the instructions provided and used within 48 hours to maintain sterility and efficacy.

Solu-Medrol is widely used for a variety of conditions, including acute exacerbations of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and systemic lupus erythematosus. It is also effective in treating severe allergic reactions, certain types of shock, and other inflammatory conditions requiring prompt glucocorticoid intervention.
