Description
Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risksMode of Action
Methylprednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid with mainly glucocorticoid activity and minimal mineralocorticoid properties. It decreases inflammation by suppression of migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reversal of increased capillary permeability.Interaction
Loss of corticosteroid-induced adrenal suppression w/ aminoglutethimide. Risk of hypokalaemia w/ K-depleting agents (e.g. amphotericin B, diuretics). Decreased clearance w/ macrolide antibiotics. May decrease serum levels of isoniazid. Increased clearance w/ cholestyramine. Risk of convulsions w/ ciclosporin. Increased risk of arrhythmias w/ digitalis glycosides. Decreased metabolism w/ oestrogens, including OCs. Enhanced metabolism w/ CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, barbiturates). Increased plasma concentrations w/ CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, erythromycin). Risk of GI effects w/ aspirin or other NSAIDs. May increase the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. May reduce the therapeutic effect of antidiabetics. Potentially Fatal: May diminish response to live or live, attenuated vaccines.Pregnancy Category Note
