Can I Take Methylprednisolone For Bad Cough?

First I know I should never share medication with anyone. I don't have medical coverage, and I have had a bad cough for several days. A friend gave me methylprednisolone for my cough because I said it hurts when I cough. It was prescribed to her from her doctor when she experienced the same symptoms. Can I also take this? I have no other health concerns or problems.
