Medrol Tablet contains methylprednisolone (16 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Cytoplasmic Receptors Activation: Methylprednisolone crosses cell membranes and binds with high affinity to specific cytoplasmic receptors. This activation process leads to modified gene transcription and protein synthesis of various anti-inflammatory proteins.

• Inflammatory Mediators Inhibition: Methylprednisolone also inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

• Immune System Suppression: By reducing the activity and volume of the lymphatic system, methylprednisolone suppresses your immune system. This results in anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.

• Store Medrol Tablet in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light.

• The ideal storage temperature is below 30°C.

• Keep the tablet in its original packaging until it's time to take it.
