A member asked:

If i stopped taking methylprednisolone 4mg tablet pack on three days ago is it still in my system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes : It's effect on your system depends on how long you been on the methylprednisolone. After more than three weeks you need to withdraw it slowly. It also depends on why you taking it and what are the other circumstances of your health.
