How MEDROL 16MG TABLET Works
MEDROL
16MG TABLET is a corticosteroid medicine with anti-inflammatory and
immune suppressant properties. It boosts your body with sufficient
corticosteroid levels (cortisol, aldosterone) during deficient
conditions and helps your body to function properly.
It also
reduces the release of certain chemicals (prostaglandins) in the body
that causes inflammation. It manages graft rejection by suppressing the
immune functions and protects your kidney from damage in patients with
kidney problems.
