Frequently asked questions
When should I take Medrol 4?
In the morning after breakfast, in one dose, unless your doctor has split it. Morning dosing mimics the body's own steroid rhythm and causes less sleeplessness.
Can I stop Medrol 4 suddenly?
If you have taken it for only a few days, yes, as your doctor directed. After 2 to 3 weeks or more, stopping suddenly can cause severe tiredness, body aches, low blood pressure and a flare of the illness – the dose must be tapered.
Medrol 4 vs Wysolone 5 – what is the difference?
Both are steroid tablets. Methylprednisolone 4 mg is roughly equal in strength to prednisolone 5 mg. Doctors choose one based on habit, availability and how much salt retention they want to avoid.
Can I take Medrol 4 with alcohol?
Keep it minimal. Both irritate the stomach lining and the combination raises the risk of ulcers and bleeding.
