Can Methyl Prednisolone Tablets Be Taken For Toenail Fungus Infection?
Question: I was prescribed MethylPREDNISolone tablets to open my clogged ears. However, I have toenail fungus on my big toe and it looks like a couple other toes are turning dark. Should I start this 6-day meds? I have not taken it yet for fear that this toenail fungus will spread.
Brief Answer:
You can take methyl prednisolone
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Methyl prednisolone is a short acting steroid.
A 6 days course is not going to cause fungal flare up.
There must be severe congestion in your ears for which methyl prednisolone might have been prescribed.
It is important for you to take this short course of steroid.
Just relax there won't be any fungal flare up.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
