Product introduction
Predmet 24 Tablet is a higher-strength corticosteroid formulation containing Methylprednisolone, used when the body's immune and inflammatory response needs stronger control. It is typically prescribed for significant allergic reactions, autoimmune conditions such as lupus, and pronounced inflammation affecting the skin, eyes or joints. Because 24mg is a comparatively high dose, it is usually used for a limited period or as part of a tapering schedule rather than as ongoing maintenance therapy. Treatment should always follow a doctor's specific instructions on dose and duration.
Storage: Store below 30°C, in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
