Frequently asked questions

What is MPMist 4 tablet used for?

MPMist 4 contains methylprednisolone 4 mg, a corticosteroid used to suppress inflammatory and allergic responses. It is prescribed in rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic disease, asthma and allergic flares, drug hypersensitivity, inflammatory skin disorders and other immune-mediated conditions, as decided by your physician.

Is MPMist 4 the same as methylprednisolone 4 mg?

Yes. MPMist 4 is Allomedix Healthcare's brand of methylprednisolone 4 mg tablets. The active molecule and strength are the same as any other methylprednisolone 4 mg tablet; the brand identifies the manufacturer.

How is MPMist 4 different from a prednisolone tablet?

Both are glucocorticoids. Methylprednisolone is a methylated derivative of prednisolone with modestly greater glucocorticoid potency weight for weight and even less salt-retaining activity. Which of the two suits a given patient is a decision for the treating physician.
