Usage
Methylprednisolone is used for a variety of clinical indications. Indications for methylprednisolone tablets include endocrine disorders, rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, collagen diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatologic diseases, allergic states, respiratory diseases and hematological diseases. Methylprednisolone is similar to another corticosteroid medication, prednisone, although the anti-inflammatory effect of one mg of methylprednisolone is slightly different than that of one mg of prednisone.
