What Is Medrol Prescribed For?

my husband started taking Medrol Thurs April 5th prescribed by his orthopedist because he had pulled his hamstring muscle a couple of weeks ago and was experiencing weakness in left leg. It has really helped and we go back tomorrow to get results of MRI; but the other plus effect of this is that my husband has had a weak stream when urinating due to scar tissue that his urologist is aware of and is treating him with Flomax; however since he went on the Medrol his stream has greatly improved. Why would that be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* The Medrol contains Methylprednisolone, which helps by various means to control inflammatory reactions in the body.
* The improvement in flow of urine is due to synergistic effect of the same over Flomax.

Hope I have answered your query.
