DESCRIPTION
SOLU-MEDROL Sterile Powder is an anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid,
which contains
methylprednisolone sodium succinate as the active ingredient.
Methylprednisolone
sodium succinate, USP, is the sodium succinate ester of
methylprednisolone, and it
occurs as a white, or nearly white, odorless hygroscopic, amorphous
solid. It is very
soluble in water and in alcohol; it is insoluble in chloroform and is
very slightly soluble in
acetone.
The chemical name for methylprednisolone sodium succinate is
pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-
dione,21-(3-carboxy-1-oxopropoxy)-11,17-dihydroxy-6-methyl-monosodium
salt, (6α,
11β), and the molecular weight is 496.53. The structural formula is
represented below:
Methylprednisolone sodium succinate is soluble in water; it may be
administered in a
small volume of diluent and is well suited for intravenous use in
situations where high
blood levels of methylprednisolone are required rapidly.
SOLU-MEDROL is available in preservative and preservative-free
formulations:
