Supress Inflamation: Medrol (methylprednisolone) is a steroid used to supress inflamation. The pulpitis you have is an inflamation of your nerves and tissue inside the tooth. Taking the Medrol (methylprednisolone) you are trying to supress that inflamation and calm the tooth and let it heal. If the inflamation in the tooth progresses you can require a root canal to keep the tooth.

Anti-inflammation: Medrol (methylprednisolone) is a steroid. It is a very strong anti-inflammatory drug. It is usually reserved for use in situations where an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) is not effective or can't be used. A pulpitis is an inflammation of the pulp or nerve of the tooth. It can be reversible or irreversible. If the cause of the inflammation is removed, it might take care of the pulpitis.
