how do you take zempred 4 for bronchitis ## Zempred contains the active ingredient Methylprednisolone, which is a CorticoSteroid. Administration guidelines note the following: "Methylprednisolone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. Your doctor will prescribe a dosing schedule that is best for you. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand." Since the guidelines are pretty vague, I'm assuming that it's essential for your to contact your doctor about the right dosage instructions for "you".

iS THE SIDE EFFECTS TO METHYLPREDISDNE ## Based on your spelling, I believe you meant to say Methylprednisolone. Methylprednisolone has some serious side effects if taken long-term, including weight gain, glaucoma, osteoporosis and psychosis, especially when used at high dosage. The most serious side effect occurs after the adrenal glands cease natural production of cortisol, which methylprednisolone will replace. Abrupt cessation of the drug after this occurs can result in a condition known as Addisonian crisis, which can be fatal. To prevent this, the drug is usually prescribed with a tapering dosage, including a pre-dosed "dose pack" detailing a specific number of pills to take at designated times over a several-day period. Pharmacists sometimes advise that this drug can caus...
