Can Medrol And Cortisone Be Taken Together For Sciatica?
my sciatic nerve is causing me to have pain all down my left leg from the buttocks to the ankles. a friend told me an injection of depo Medrol would really help the nagging pain. I had an injection of cortisone a couple of months ago for the bursitis in both my legs. is it safe and effective to mix the two long lasting medications?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Both Medrol and Cortisone are steroids and no harm in taking both in period of two months apart. They won’t interact each other or doesn’t have any added adverse effects. Nothing much to worry and you can take Medrol shot now.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
