Can there be amenorrhea after discontinuation of Metepred?

Yes, discontinuing corticosteroids like Metypred (methylprednisolone) can affect the endocrine system. After discontinuing Metypred, it may take some time for the body to restore hormonal balance. Various changes can occur as a result of this process, including menstrual cycle disorders, which can manifest as amenorrhea or irregular periods.

Metypred is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-allergic effects. Long-term use of these types of drugs can affect hormonal balance in the body, including the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates cortisol secretion.

If you have experienced amenorrhea after discontinuing Metypred, I encourage you to consult a doctor who can assess your current situation and recommend appropriate therapeutic treatment.
