Metnecort 4 Tabs (20X10) Methylprednisolone 4Mg by Elder

What is it used for?
Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and an overactive immune response. It may be prescribed for inflammatory, allergic, autoimmune, skin, joint, respiratory, or other medical conditions, depending on the doctor's assessment.

How does it work?
It reduces the release of substances that cause inflammation and suppresses excessive immune-system activity.

How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed, preferably with food or milk to reduce stomach irritation. Do not stop it suddenly, especially after prolonged treatment; the dose may need to be reduced gradually under medical supervision.

Common side effects
Stomach upset, increased appetite, difficulty sleeping, mood changes, headache, fluid retention, increased blood sugar, and increased blood pressure may occur.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, osteoporosis, mental health conditions, eye problems, or any infection. Methylprednisolone can weaken immunity and may hide signs of infection. Avoid contact with people who have contagious infections and check with the doctor before receiving vaccines, especially live vaccines. Seek medical advice for severe mood changes, vision problems, swelling, or signs of infection.
