DESCRIPTION
Methylprednisolone Tablets contain methylprednisolone which is a
glucocorticoid.
Glucocorticoids are adrenocortical steroids, both naturally occurring
and synthetic,
which are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Methylprednisolone occurs as
a white to practically white, odorless, 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 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:
Methylprednisolone tablets, for oral administration, are available as
scored talets in the
following strengths: 4 mg, 8 mg, 16 mg and 32 mg. In addition each
tablet contains the
following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose
anhydrous (4mg and 8mg),
lactose monohydrate (16mg and 32mg), magnesium stearate,
microcrystalline cellulose,
pregelatinized starch, sodium lauryl sulfate, 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.
