Can Methylprednisolone Be Taken For Arthritis After Such A Short Time Gap?
My name is Julia Dvorkin. I'm 21 years old. I was dignosed with bronxitis and was prescribed MethylPred 4 MG along with anibiotics. About two month ago I was prescribed the same steroids (MethylPred 4 MG) for my arthrytis. I would like to know if it's save to take this medication in a such a short period of time.
