How Neo-Medrol Affects Patients

Corticosteroids work by attaching to the glucocorticoid receptor, to reduce inflammation and promote healing. The amount of corticosteroids taken may be much higher than what the body naturally produces. People taking corticosteroids should be aware of the risk of decreased hormone production in the body and increased chances of getting an infection.

How Neo-Medrol works in the body

Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation by decreasing the flow of blood to the area and preventing white blood cells from entering the area. They also stop certain molecules from forming and block proteins that cause inflammation. Low doses of corticosteroids stop inflammation, while higher doses weaken the immune system. If taken for an extended period of time, corticosteroids will also raise sodium levels and lower potassium levels.

When to interrupt dosage

The proposed measure of Neo-Medrol is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Inflammation, Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum and Diuresis. The quantity of dosage is contingent upon the method of administration outlined in the following table.

Neo-Medrol Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Glucocorticoids can be very toxic when taken in large amounts. The lowest toxic dose of glucocorticoids in rats is greater than 4g/kg. Common side effects of chronic overdose include changes in vision, high blood pressure, water retention, increased cholesterol, stomach ulcers, muscle weakness, mood swings, skin changes, and increased risk of infection. For acute overdoses, treatment should focus on relieving symptoms, while for chronic overdoses, the dosage should be reduced.
