Question 1

can i take medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pack and naproxen at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Both can cause upset stomach, so take w/ food.

Question 2

was on methylprednisolone pk 6 days for eustachian tube dysfunction went to another ent and was told eustachian tube dysfunction wouldn't cause my symptoms so i didn't take the last two doses. could i experience withdrawal symptoms since i stopped?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: A short course of methylprednisolone would not usually lead to withdrawal symptoms.  However if you experienced euphoria while on it, you may have a couple of day feeling less energetic after getting off of the drug. What are your symptoms anyway?

Question 3

how can i take the oral methylprednisolone prescribed as 448 mg/day in 1 4 divided doses?

Accepted Answer

: Your wording is confusing. It suggests you can take all 4 at one time or 1 spaced out four times in a day. Divided doses suggests you would take one about every six hours.

Question 4

does anyone know what the side effects are if you take two dose of methylprednisolone by mistake?

Accepted Answer

Not a big deal: But you need to tell your doctor, because typically you need to taper it down slowly and this may have messed up the treatment. You may urinate more and feel more hungry for a few days.

Question 5

how much time does it take for a depomedrol (methylprednisolone) injection in the spine to take effect?

Accepted Answer

Spinal injection: There are different types of spinal injections.  Epidural steroid injections are often performed for nerve pain due to a pinched nerve (radiculitis/radiculopathy) and facet joint injections are performed for back pain.  Depomedrol (methylprednisolone) is a long acting steroid that dissolves over 6 weeks.   Because it takes time to dissolve it takes an average of 2 weeks to have maximal effect.
