To treat allergies or an overactive immune system, one option is a corticosteroid called methylprednisolone. Taking this medication correctly can help improve treatment outcomes and reduce the risk of adverse effects.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have more questions about how to take methylprednisolone or what to expect when taking it.
