Hi troutbat,

I believe I have identified your pill as Medrol (methylprednisolone) 24 mg; which is a glucocorticoid medication in the steroid class. Glucocorticoids have a wide range of effects, including changes to metabolism and immune responses. The list of medical conditions for which methylprednisolone is prescribed is rather long, and is similar to other corticosteroids such as prednisolone. Common uses include arthritis therapy and short-term treatment of bronchial inflammation or acute bronchitis due to various respiratory diseases. It is used both in the treatment of acute periods and long-term management of autoimmune diseases, most notably systemic lupus erythematosus. It is also used as a treatment for multiple sclerosis.

This medication may cause side effects such as: nausea, stomach pain, fluid retention and elevated heart rate and blood pressure.

Manufacturer: Pharmacia Corp

NOTE: The actual imprint is UPJOHN 155

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Medrol Details

I hope this helps!
