I was diagnosed with ŁZS. I have had exudate in my knee for 4 weeks, it has decreased a little, but it still is. The rheumatologist prescribed me the drug metypred to compensate for the exudate in the knee. I have to take it 7 days 1x 4mg. I am afraid of side effects and the fact that methypred will not work at all. Am I exaggerating a lot?

We wrote about why it is not worth being too afraid of the side effects of using medicines here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-bac-sie-dzialan-niepozadanych-lekow The attending physician has certainly chosen the best possible treatment for you, which will be safe if you follow the recommendations. In addition, I recommend reading the above article, and in case of further concerns, contact your doctor. Metypred are tablets intended for the treatment of m.in inflammation, autoimmune diseases, severe allergic reactions and severe forms of asthma. The preparation contains methylprednisolone belonging to glucocorticosteroids. The substance inhibits the expression of various proteins in the cell, thanks to which it has an anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and immunosuppressive effect: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/48768/metypred-tabletki/ulotka I attach additional materials that may prove helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-sterydy-sa-bezpieczne https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/choroby-skory
