Methyl prednisolone has side effects including impotence, weakening of the immune system and worsening of infections and fat deposition. These however happen in those patients taking high doses for a while.
It is important to know your medical condition in detail and why your doctor gave you oral methyl prednisolone. This is a prescription drug and must be taken under supervision of your doctor.
