Solu-Medrol 500 Mg Injection contains methylprednisolone (500 mg) which has several ways of working on your body:

• Inflammation Reduction: Methylprednisolone suppresses the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (a type of white blood cell) and decreases capillary permeability (the ease with which substances pass through blood vessel walls), thereby reducing inflammation.

• Immune Response Alteration: It also changes the body's immune responses. This is beneficial in conditions where inflammation is a result of an overactive immune response.

• Gene Expression Alteration: The medication works at a cellular level by entering cells and binding to specific receptors. This results in altered gene expression and inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production (these are proteins that signal cells to move towards sites of inflammation, infection and trauma).

• Keep Solu-Medrol 500 Mg Injection at room temperature between 15°C to 30°C.

• Shield it from light exposure.

• Don't expose it to excess moisture or heat.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you're dealing with rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory conditions managed by Solu-Medrol 500 Mg Injection, consider incorporating omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Foods like fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds are rich in omega-3s and can help reduce inflammation.

• Regular exercise is also essential. Gentle exercises, such as swimming or cycling, can help improve joint flexibility and reduce stiffness associated with conditions like ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis. However, always consult your doctor before starting any exercise regimen.
