Methylprednisolone Acetate (methylprednisolone acetate)

Methylprednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid.

Methylprednisolone and its derivatives are used principally as anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressant agents. Because methylprednisolone has only minimal mineralocorticoid properties, the drug is inadequate alone for the management of adrenocortical insufficiency. If methylprednisolone is used in the treatment of this condition, concomitant therapy with a mineralocorticoid also is required.
