Meprednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid used for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. It is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as allergic reactions, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory disorders. Meprednisone works by inhibiting inflammation and modulating the immune response, helping to alleviate symptoms of conditions involving immune system dysfunction. It is typically administered orally and is known for its ability to reduce swelling, pain, and redness. Careful monitoring of side effects, such as fluid retention and gastrointestinal issues, is necessary.
