What’s the best way to go about making sure the side effect possibilities are kept to a minimum?

The first thing you need to focus on is why you would be at an increased chance for side effects in the first place. Here are a few of them:

 You might be using other medicational treatments that can interact badly with Medrol. You must make sure you let your doctor know about any and all treatments you’re using, because they would have to decide if in the end using Medrol represents too much of a risk for you.

 You might be a heavy drinker or use recreational drugs. If you use recreational drugs or drink heavily, then this can affect the way the treatment works. It can put you at an increased risk for side effects. In order to prevent this it’s going to be important that you find a way to lower your drinking and recreational drug use if you partake in this.

 You might have a pre-existing medical condition that causes problems. This might not have to do with the use of other medications, just another medical condition that can be causing problems and would increase the chances of side effects. Your doctor would have to do a careful evaluation in order to know if it’s safe for you to use Medrol in your current state.

The best way to keep your overall risk for side effects down is for you to not deviate away from whatever instructions the doctor gives you for use. If you are confused in any way about what you have to do or how you have to take this treatment, then you should make sure you get clarity from the doctor before leaving their office.

Serious side effects are rare, but do happen. The more common side effects are more a symptom of your system taking a little time to get used to you using the treatment. After a short period of time these minor side effects should subside and there shouldn’t be any problems. If problems persist or they get worse, then don’t be afraid to get in touch with a medical professional as soon as you could.

Medrol is trusted and as long as it’s used right it will work for a patient. It will be important that the treatment get stored properly though. Room temperature is best and make sure to keep it in a place where children or pets can’t easily get to it. Also keep it away from places where there’s a lot of heat or wetness.
