IM METHYLPREDNISONE EVERY 3-4 WEEKS LESSENS WEIGHT GAIN, FRACTURES, MOONFACE THAN ORAL METHYLPREDNISONE IN DOUBLE BLIND STUDY FROM 1997!

[Christophene47]

I will try to share the link, but is from a Journal of Rheumatology, 1997! I was surprised 1) this has been known for 12 years 2) the lessening of side effects, such as weight gain, moonface, fractures...

I am wondering how many of you are receiving IM Methylprednisone, not oral, and your experiences?

Will try to share link if technology from my tablet allows. Thank you for any responses.

Oral is probably is given on prescription because it’s easy and more practical. Does it say who administered the IM pred in this trial?

I will review the article again; Do you mean doctor or patient?
