What is Methylprednisolone?
Methylprednisolone relieves inflammation (swelling, heat, redness, and pain) and is used to treat certain forms of arthritis, skin, blood, kidney, eye, thyroid, and intestinal disorders (e.g., colitis), severe allergies, and even asthma. Methylprednisolone is also used to treat certain types of cancer.
Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid, which means that it is similar to a natural hormone produced by your adrenal glands. It is often used to replace this chemical when your body does not make enough of it.
