What is Methylprednisolone?
Active Ingredients: Methylprednisolone Acetate
Methylprednisolone Acetate Injection is a steroid drug used to treat a wide range of inflammatory, endocrine, and autoimmune diseases, such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis, and allergic reactions. This medication is suitable for both local and intramuscular treatment.
Methylprednisolone Acetate is classified as a corticosteroid. It works by preventing inflammation and lowering the body's natural defense. Steroids can suppress the immune system by reducing the activity and production of lymphocytes and eosinophils.
