A member asked:

How long should i take the steroid medrol (methylprednisolone) 4mg dosepack (methylpednisolone) for tendonitis in my knee?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

6 day taper: Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pack is taken as a 6 day taper. Day 1, you take 6 pills over the course of the day. Each day, you take 1 less pill per day. When you get to day 7, no more pills.
