Methylprednisolone

Methylprednisolone is a medication that belongs to a class called corticosteroids, which mimic natural hormones produced by the adrenal glands. It helps reduce inflammation, suppress the immune system, and decrease swelling. Doctors often prescribe it for conditions like severe allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, or certain types of inflammation. It can be given as a pill, injection, or through an intravenous (IV) line. While effective, it’s important to use it under medical supervision because it can cause side effects if used long-term or at high doses.
