The tablet works through its corticosteroid action, replacing and supplementing the body's own cortisol activity. Methylprednisolone reduces swelling and irritation at the site of disease and lowers immune reactions that are producing symptoms. In endocrine disorders it also supplies steroid hormone activity when the body does not make enough of its own.

Must not be used if there is a systemic fungal infection. Must not be used if there is a known allergy to methylprednisolone or any tablet ingredient. Check with a doctor first if you have any active infection, diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma, osteoporosis, stomach ulcer, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Check with a doctor first before stopping long-term treatment suddenly, as adrenal gland function may be suppressed.
