A member asked:
Methylprednisolone 4mg dospak 21s were prescribed for double ear infection for a period of 6 days. is my immune system lowered with this small dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: It takes a much higher dose of cortisone for a much longer duration to impact the immune system clinically although steroid has been found to cause increased breakdown of immunoglobulins.
