CompositionMP 4 TABLET 15 is a medicine used to treat a wide range of inflammatory and allergic conditions, including certain types of arthritis, asthma, severe allergic reactions, and selected immune-related disorders. It is also used in conditions affecting the joints, skin, eyes, lungs, blood, or digestive system.
It contains methylprednisolone, a synthetic glucocorticoid. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, as the dose depends on the condition being treated. It is usually taken with food or milk to reduce stomach upset. Do not stop this medicine suddenly without your doctor's advice, especially if it has been taken for a longer period, as the dose often needs to be reduced gradually.
Certain lifestyle steps support safer use of this medicine. These include eating a balanced diet low in salt and added sugar, getting enough calcium and vitamin D to protect bone health, and doing regular weight-bearing exercise. Avoid contact with people who have chickenpox or measles if you have not had them before, as steroids can weaken the immune response.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, mental health concerns, or are taking other medicines. Long-term use can affect blood sugar, bone strength, and blood pressure, so regular check-ups are important. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
