Does Methylprednisolone Cause Side Effects?
My doctor prescribed methylprednisolone for my chronic sinus infections. I am nervous about taking it after reading all the potential side effects. Also, I have mitral valve prolapse and am prone to heart palpitations. Should I still take this medication?

Hello,
The side effects of Methylprednisolone are very rare in our daily practice. Instead, it is a medication that reduce the inflammation and is very effective in relieving the symptoms. I recommend to use it without worries.
