What is Methylprednisolone?
Active Ingredients: Methylprednisolone
Methylprednisolone Tablets are a steroid drug used for many types of inflammatory, endocrine, and autoimmune diseases that are responsive to corticosteroids. It is indicated for conditions like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, gout, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and allergic reactions.
Methylprednisolone 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.
