Are Loose Stools, Fatigue And Low Appetite Side Effects Of Taking Medrol?
The day after completion of the 6 days of Medrol I felt a little weak and lethargic. Then started with loose stools that are with yellow liquid and what little is semi formed is also yellow. I have no appetite and what little I eat causes almost immediate trip to bathroom. These symptoms continued for the third day after last dose of the Medrol. Is this likely an effect of the Medrol?

Hello,
Loose stools are not a common side effect of Medrol. Maybe you had a viral infection of your stomach and bowel called gastroenteritis.
This may cause diarrhea, loss of appetite, weakness and in some cases fever, nausea, vomiting, etc. It generally lasts 3-5 days and goes away spontaneously.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
