Methylprednisolone 4 mg (10 tablets)
Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid medication that works by binding to and activating intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. Once activated, these receptors bind to DNA promoter regions, triggering or suppressing transcription, which leads to the inactivation of genes through histone deacetylation. This medication is used to treat various allergic, autoimmune, and inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, psoriasis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.
