A member asked:

Currently taking medrol dosepack 4mg and wanted to know that since this is an immunosuppressant, does this put me at a higher risk of contracting covid?

Yes: Taking immunosuppressants does indeed put you at higher risk of contracting not only Covid19, but also influenza, other viral illnesses. Wash hands often, isolate yourself as much as possible and be aware you are at higher risk.

Perhaps: Medrol Dosepak is better characterized as an immune modulator, so perhaps a lower impact on immune system. But still raises enough concern to carefully follow precautions
