A member asked:

On day 5 of 6 day medrol (methylprednisolone) pack. peed 6 times overnight and no other symptoms. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urinary frequency: The steroids in the Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pack can cause your glucose levels to increase which can in turn cause frequent urination. Be careful of your glucose and carb intake while taking this medication and make sure you stay up to date with your fasting labs. Good luck
