Novipred 4/8/16 Tablets

Methylprednisolone tablets are a corticosteroid medication used to reduce inflammation in various medical conditions. It works by suppressing the immune system and reducing the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Methylprednisolone is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as allergies, asthma, arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, multiple sclerosis), skin conditions, and other inflammatory disorders.

These tablets are available in different strengths and are typically taken orally. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific condition being treated, the patient’s response to the medication, and their medical history. Methylprednisolone can be used short-term for acute conditions or long-term for chronic conditions, but long-term use may lead to side effects like weight gain, weakened bones, and an increased risk of infections.

It's important for patients to follow their healthcare provider’s instructions and not to stop taking the medication abruptly, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms or a flare-up of the underlying condition. Methylprednisolone tablets should be taken with food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation.
