How does this medication work? Methylprednisolone has an effect on virtually every organ system in the body. Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of substances that trigger allergic and inflammatory actions. Methylprednisolone is used to modify the body's immune response. At lower doses it helps to reduce inflammation by decreasing the activity of certain cells and chemicals produced by the body that cause inflammation. At higher doses, it can suppress the immune system by decreasing the number of cells necessary for a proper immune response.

What results can I expect?

When used to treat inflammatory conditions, such as certain skin diseases, the success rate is usually good and improvements can be seen in several days. If the methylprednisolone is stopped, signs of the disease may reappear.

Packaging problem

Shipping box was intact, but the pill bottle was crushed, pulls scattered in the box. We were not able to find all of the pills. A ticket was opened for the pharmacy to look into the issue, but we never heard anything back.
