Methylprednisolone - Mechanism, side effects, precautions & uses

How Methylprednisolone 4mg (Medrol) acts as anti-inflammatory agent and immunosuppressant?
This drug, being a steroid, produces side effects on multiple organs so it should be used at low dose possible and dose should be tampered slowly.

Well explained sir.Thank you

All I know is Atopic Dermatitis had my FACE yes my freaking FACE itching, A burning pain, swollen EYES, CHEEKS, NOSE, cracks in corners on mouth, inside my nose, on the side cracks of the outside of my nose, discoloration of skin, sleepless crying nights and this medication took it completely away in less than 24hrs. It was worth the risk for me. Oh and do I need to remind y’all this was my FREAKING FACE. Where I have to work everyday. Thank god it’s a time where wearing mask was actually normal.

@jacque Renee,I’ve been dealing with skin rash the last 6 years,this past week my doctor prescribed me methyiprednisolone due to a inflamed wrist due to a bad sprain .I haven’t had a eczema breakout since.I hope it’s permanent.

Can you suggest a book for medicinal chemistry

I had an allergic reaction to something I ate and broke out in hives all over! It took it away in less than an hour. I’m on day 3 of my Medrol dose pack.

[@sheilahollinshed9246]

That's what happen to me. I put soy sauce on rice and had a beer and couldn't stop coughing.

[@cemitas1316]

How are you now? I broke out in hives a few days ago due to something I drank & have tried Benadryl and it initially worked but the hives returned the very next day. I’m finishing my first day on Methylprednisolone and it’s reduced my hives almost entirely but now it’s nighttime and I feel like the hives returning

[@12345621770]

@@sheilahollinshed9246 for that reason first option should be antihistamine. No Prednisone. Prednisone is more pontet anti-inflammatory drug and need caution in administration!

i was prescribed this steroid for excessive swelling in my knee. i got an mri and no ligaments were torn besides a small sprain in my palpatilla, which is behind my knee. my doctor said that i should take this drug after 5 days of just ibuprofen if the swelling didn’t go away. if anyone has taken this medication for a situation similar to mine i just want to know what side effects youve experienced and wether or not it helped with the swelling

[@nostalgiaman6816]

Yeah I’m in the same boat. I have patella femoral disorder and contemplating whether or not I want to take it or not. My quads are now hurting and I get sharp pains.

[@diegotorres1214]

@@nostalgiaman6816 i ended up going through with the 6 day prescription and i didn’t experience any side effects. it really helped with my swelling and since then i haven’t had any issues besides a tight hamstring. i am now walking normally without any walking aids. i honestly would recommend it if u haven’t taken it already, but be aware of any allergies you might have

Can it cause insomnia after a single 40mg injection?

At what point do you see withdrawals with this drug. I think the small dosage I was given is messing up my emotions and my body is withdrawing it

[@XxButtNastyxX]

Did you get better ? Finished mine 3 weeks ago but still feel terrible

[@jaysvlog9803]

@@XxButtNastyxX I didn’t finish the prescription because I went insane. There was a screaming in my head that didn’t go away until 3 days ago. I started working out harder then I have ever worked out and haven’t stopped, it’s the only thing that has helped. Now its 3 days later and Its the first day I can see as if I’m alive again. Headaches are here but working out and sweating it out has helped a lot

[@XxButtNastyxX]

@@jaysvlog9803 i didnt finish mine either. The last 2 days. Still feel like crap 3 weeks later. Took it for back pain so i havent worked out lately. Might do that soon. So your withdrawals lasted a couple days ?

[@jaysvlog9803]

@@XxButtNastyxX I wonder if back pain is another symptom as I had bad back pain as a first. I was given for COVID took for 4 days out of 6. Once I started losing control of my body and my mind I knew it wasn’t COVID. Long story short I went through 2 maybe 3 full days of hard withdrawals and today is the fourth day and I just have headaches but I finally am feeling semi normal. If you are 3 weeks later and experienced anything like I did I believe it but I would see the doc if I were you this drug is freakin deadly in my opinion

[@jaysvlog9803]

@@XxButtNastyxX the only word I can think of when I was feeling like crap with this is “insane” “mad” I felt like I was literally losing control of who was even speaking when I was speaking. It was terrible i feel for you man
