A member asked:
Hello sir i m taking methylprednisolone (4mg)from last four years. i m a patient of chronic urticaria. plz help me to withdraw it.?

Need to see Doc: Since you have been on oral steroids for a very long time, any decrease in dosage has to be done very cautiously because of withdrawal symptoms including shock. Therefore, you need to see your doc for controlled and cautious monitoring of your health when the dosage is being decreased over a period of time.
