Methyl Pred 500 MG Injection 1 contains Methylprednisolone (500 mg). Here is how it works on your body:

• Rapid hydrolysis: Once administered, methylprednisolone sodium succinate is rapidly processed in the liver into its active form methylprednisolone.

• Inhibition of proinflammatory mediators: Methylprednisolone inhibits substances such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes that contribute to inflammation.

• Suppression of cellmediated immunity: The medicine prompts lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) to self-destruct (apoptosis), which helps suppress the immune response.

• Alteration of cytokine production: Methylprednisolone alters the production of cytokines – these are proteins that regulate immunity and inflammation.

• Mineralocorticoid activity: At certain doses, methylprednisolone affects the balance of water and electrolytes in your body.

• Keep Methyl Pred 500 MG Injection 1 stored at a consistent temperature of 20 °C to 25 °C.

• Always make sure to use it before the expiry date on the package.

• If you are managing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus, try to eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. This can help your body recover and manage inflammation better.

• If you're using Methyl Pred 500 MG Injection 1 for asthma or other respiratory conditions, quitting smoking or avoiding secondhand smoke can significantly improve your lung function and overall health.
