    It's actually called methylprednisolone.

    Ordinarily it is a steroid might help to reduce inflammation.

    Here is an article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylprednisolone

    The brand I am familiar with is called Medrol and I only took it short term

    in low doses for my hypopituitarism, and it alleviated my symptoms.

    I felt ok on it.
