I'm on medrol (methylprednisolone) dosepak for ms relapses. 4mg tablets, 6pills days 1, taper down 1 pill each day. how soon can i expect this to start working?

See details: It depends on the severity of the flares. A short course such as a dosepack may not help at all. If it helps you should see benefit in the first 2-3 days.
