Help please! is generic medrol (methylprednisolone) as effective for asthma?

Yes: There is no therapeutic difference between the brand name and the generic equivalent.

For resistant cases: medrol (oral methylprednisolone) is usually reserved for asthma attacks that resist usual inhaled therapy. It is usually given for short periods in a tapering (reducing the dose over days). It is not intended for regular use except in very severe, resistant cases.

Use as directed: Generic methylprednisolone works for my patients. Follow your physician's instructions and call if something doesn't seem right.
