What is Solu-Medrol?

Solu-Medrol is a brand-name corticosteroid injection used to treat inflammation caused by certain conditions, such as arthritis, asthma, dermatitis, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, uveitis, and tuberculosis. Solu-Medrol may also be used to treat severe allergic reactions, severe skin reactions, adrenal gland problems, swelling caused by meningitis or trichinosis, and leukemia or lymphoma.

The active ingredient in Solu-Medrol is methylprednisolone sodium succinate, a corticosteroid, which decreases swelling by regulating the immune response to injury, allergens, or infections. Because Solu-Medrol suppresses the immune response, there may be an increased risk of secondary infections.

In an urgent medical situation, Solu-Medrol is administered as an intravenous infusion by a healthcare professional in a clinic or hospital. It usually takes at least 30 minutes to complete the infusion. Solu-Medrol may also be administered as an intravenous or intramuscular injection.
