Does Methylperdnisolone Cause Rash Like Side Effects?
I am currently taking Methylprednisolone (6 day course, with 6 pills on day one, 5 pills on day two, etc.) I am currently on day two. Currently, my face, neck, and chest area are very red (like a sun burn). Also, my thighs and arms are also red, but not as red as my face, neck, and chest. Is this an allergic reaction to the drug? If so, should I not take my next dosage? I am supposed to take two more pills before bedtime. Thank you

Hi,
Methylprednisolone is usually given as oral tablets to relieve inflammatory conditions, rashes and other allergies. But in few people, it causes serious allergic reactions too such as red, itchy rash spreads as patches in the skin. It is not advisable to continue the medication. Contact your physician for further assistance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
