Key Features:
- Mechanism of Action: Methylprednisolone reduces inflammation and alters the immune response by inhibiting the release of substances that cause inflammation, providing relief from symptoms.

- Autoimmune disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus)
- Inflammatory skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis)
- Respiratory issues (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
- Certain cancers, as part of a broader treatment plan
- Dosage: Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Dosage may vary based on the condition being treated and individual patient needs.
- Administration: The tablets should be taken orally with water. They can be taken with or without food, but consistency in how they are taken is recommended for optimal results.
- Side Effects: Common side effects may include increased appetite, weight gain, insomnia, mood swings, and gastrointestinal issues. Long-term use may lead to more serious side effects such as adrenal suppression and increased risk of infections. Contact your healthcare provider if you notice severe or persistent side effects.
