How Medrol 8mg Tablet Works

Medrol 8mg Tablet is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of substances triggering allergic and inflammatory reactions. At lower doses, it reduces inflammation by decreasing the activity of specific cells and chemicals in the body. At higher doses, it can suppress the immune system by reducing the number of cells necessary for a proper immune response.
