Drug Info for methylprednisolone sodium succ
Methylprednisolone injection is used to treat severe allergic reactions. Methylprednisolone injection is used in the management of multiple sclerosis (a disease in which the nerves do not function properly), lupus (a disease in which the body attacks many of its own organs), gastrointestinal disease, and certain types of arthritis. Methylprednisolone injection is also used to treat certain conditions that affect the blood, skin, eyes, nervous system, thyroid, kidneys, and lungs. It is sometimes used in combination with other medications to treat symptoms of low corticosteroid levels (lack of certain substances that are usually produced by the body and are needed for normal body functioning). Methylprednisolone injection is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works to treat people with low levels of corticosteroids by replacing steroids that are normally produced naturally by the body. It also works to treat other conditions by reducing swelling and redness and by changing the way the immune system works.
Solu-Medrol is a corticosteroid that treats arthritis, blood disorders, allergic reactions, skin diseases, some cancers, and other immune system disorders. The generic version of Solu-Medrol is A-Methapred. For a supply of 1 injectable powder for injection, the average cost of Solu-Medrol (1 g preservative-free) without insurance is $22. You can use our OptionRx savings offer to get an average Solu-Medrol discount of up to 80% off of the retail price at participating pharmacies near you.
