DESCRIPTION
Methylprednisolone tablets, USP contain methylprednisolone, USP which
is a
glucocorticoid. Glucocorticoids are adrenocortical steroids, both
naturally occurring and
synthetic, which are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Methylprednisolone, USP occurs as a white to practically white,
crystalline powder. It is
sparingly soluble in alcohol, in dioxane, and in methanol, slightly
soluble in acetone, and
in chloroform, and very slightly soluble in ether. It is practically
insoluble in water.
The chemical name for methylprednisolone, USP is
pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione,
11,17,21-trihydroxy-6-methyl-, (6α,11β)- and the molecular weight is
374.48. The
structural formula is represented below:
Each methylprednisolone tablet, USP for oral administration contains 4
mg of
methylprednisolone, USP.
Inactive ingredients: magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose
and sodium starch
glycolate.
ACTIONS
Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and cortisone),
which also have salt-
retaining properties, are used as replacement therapy in
adrenocortical deficiency
states. Their synthetic analogs are primarily used for their potent
anti-inflammatory
effects in disorders of many organ systems.
Glucocorticoids cause profound and varied metabolic effects. In
addition, they modify
the body's immune responses to diverse stimuli.
