This document defines adverse drug reactions and discusses their epidemiology and risk factors. It states that adverse drug reactions are any unintended and harmful responses to a medication. It notes that 4% of hospital admissions, 1 in 1000 deaths in medical wards, and 10-20% of inpatients experience adverse drug reactions. Risk factors include simultaneous use of multiple drugs, advanced age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, hereditary factors, and disease states. Common culprit medications are anti-coagulants, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, antihypertensives, antibiotics, diuretics and insulin.
The document discusses emerging trends in malaria therapy, focusing on the benefits of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). It notes that over-reliance on previous antimalarial drugs has led to increasing resistance. ACTs provide superior efficacy and cure rates compared to monotherapies due to the fast-acting properties of artemisinins and their ability to delay drug resistance when paired with other antimalarials. Studies show artesunate is more effective than quinine for treating severe malaria, with a 35% reduction in mortality. Coartem, containing artemether and lumefantrine, provides a rapid initial response but its long-acting partner increases risks of resistance development.
This is a case report of a four year old female patient who was admitted to pediatrics ward at Owaisi Hospital and Research Centre with chief complaints of abdominal pain and burning sensation while micturition since 2 days, associated with frequent straw colored urination and nausea.

This ADR has scored 6 on naranjo algorithm, which indicates the reaction as probable. This is a rare case of metronidazole induced seizures in a pediatric patient. The reason behind the event could be the dose of metronidazole, which was slightly higher than the calculated dose according to the weight of the patient.

Breast cancer :Receptor (ER/PR/HER2 NEU) Discordance.pptxDr. Sumit KUMAR
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.
congenital GI disorders are very dangerous to child. it is also a leading cause for death of the child.
this congenital GI disorders includes cleft lip, cleft palate, hirchsprung's disease etc.
Selective alpha1 blockers are Prazosin, Terazosin, Doxazosin, Tamsulosin and Silodosin majorly used to treat BPH, also hypertension, PTSD, Raynaud's phenomenon, CHF
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)MuskanShingari
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.
Predictabilty and Preventability Assessment, Management of ADR, Terminologies...Kshama Mundokar
The predictability and preventability assesment of ADR are explained with the information related with the management of ADR as well as the various terminologies which are used to study and better understand ADR are also described.
Fexofenadine is sold under the brand name Allegra.
It is a selective peripheral H1 blocker. It is classified as a second-generation antihistamine because it is less able to pass the blood–brain barrier and causes lesser sedation, as compared to first-generation antihistamines.
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Fexofenadine has been manufactured in generic form since 2011.

Undesirable effects may be minimised by using
the lowest effective dose for the minimum
period (see section 4.4).
The initial suppressive dose level may vary
depending on the condition being treated. This is
continued until a satisfactory clinical response is
obtained, a period usually of three to seven days
in the case of rheumatic diseases (except for
acute rheumatic carditis), allergic conditions
affecting the skin or respiratory tract and
ophthalmic diseases. If a satisfactory response is
not obtained in seven days, re-evaluation of the
case to confirm the original diagnosis should be
made. As soon as a satisfactory clinical response
is obtained, the daily dose should be reduced
gradually, either to termination of treatment in
the case of acute conditions (e.g. seasonal
asthma, exfoliative dermatitis, acute ocular
inflammations) or to the minimal effective
maintenance dose level in the case of chronic
conditions (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic
lupus erythematosus, bronchial asthma, atopic
dermatitis). In chronic conditions, and in
rheumatoid arthritis especially, it is important
that the reduction in dosage from initial to
maintenance dose levels be accomplished as
clinically appropriate. Decrements of not more
than 2 mg at intervals of 7 - 10 days are
suggested. In rheumatoid arthritis, maintenance
steroid therapy should be at the lowest possible
level.
In alternate-day therapy, the minimum daily
corticoid requirement is doubled and
administered as a single dose every other day at
8.00 am. Dosage requirements depend on the
condition being treated and response of the
patient.
Elderly patients: Treatment of elderly patients,
particularly if long-term, should be planned
bearing in mind the more serious consequences
of the common side-effects of corticosteroids in
old age, particularly osteoporosis, diabetes,
hypertension, susceptibility to infection and
thinning of skin (see section 4.4).
Paediatric population: In general, dosage for
children should be based upon clinical response
and is at the discretion of the physician.
Treatment should be limited to the minimum
dosage for the shortest period of time. If
possible, treatment should be administered as a
single dose on alternate days (see section 4.4).
Dosage Recommendations:
4.3 Contraindications
Methylprednisolone tablets are contraindicated:

Administration of live or live, attenuated
vaccines is contraindicated in patients receiving
immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids.
4.4 Special Warnings and precautions for use
Immunosuppressant Effects/Increased
Susceptibility to Infections
Corticosteroids may increase susceptibility to
infection, may mask some signs of infection, and
new infections may appear during their use.
Suppression of the inflammatory response and
immune function increases the susceptibility to
fungal, viral and bacterial infections and their
severity. The clinical presentation may often be
atypical and may reach an advanced stage before
being recognised.
Persons who are on drugs which suppress the
immune system are more susceptible to
infections than healthy individuals. Chicken pox
and measles, for example, can have a more
serious or even fatal course in non-immune
children or adults on corticosteroids.
Chickenpox is of serious concern since this
normally minor illness may be fatal in
immunosuppressed patients. Patients (or parents
of children) without a definite history of
chickenpox should be advised to avoid close
personal contact with chickenpox or herpes
zoster and if exposed they should seek urgent
medical attention. Passive immunization with
varicella/zoster immunoglobulin (VZIG) is
needed by exposed non-immune patients who
are receiving systemic corticosteroids or who
have used them within the previous 3 months;
this should be given within 10 days of exposure
to chickenpox. If a diagnosis of chickenpox is
confirmed, the illness warrants specialist care
and urgent treatment. Corticosteroids should not
be stopped and the dose may need to be
increased.
Exposure to measles should be avoided. Medical
advice must be sought immediately if exposure
occurs. Prophylaxis with normal intramuscular
immunoglobulin may be needed.
Similarly corticosteroids should be used with
great care in patients with known or suspected
parasitic infections such as Strongyloides
(threadworm) infestation, which may lead to
Strongyloides hyperinfection and dissemination
with widespread larval migration, often
accompanied by severe enterocolitis and
potentially fatal gram-negative septicemia.
Administration of live or live, attenuated
vaccines is contraindicated in patients receiving
immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids.
The antibody response to other vaccines may be
diminished.
The use of corticosteroids in active tuberculosis
should be restricted to those cases of fulminating
or disseminated tuberculosis in which the
corticosteroid is used for the management of the
disease in conjunction with an appropriate
antituberculous regimen. If corticosteroids are
indicated in patients with latent tuberculosis or
tuberculin reactivity, close observation is
necessary as reactivation of the disease may
occur. During prolonged corticosteroid therapy,
these patients should receive chemoprophylaxis.
Kaposi's sarcoma has been reported to occur in
patients receiving corticosteroid therapy.
Discontinuation of corticosteroids may result in
clinical remission.
The role of corticosteroids in septic shock has
been controversial, with early studies reporting
both beneficial and detrimental effects. More
recently, supplemental corticosteroids have been
suggested to be beneficial in patients with
established septic shock who exhibit adrenal
insufficiency. However, their routine use in
septic shock is not recommended. A systematic
review of short-course high-dose corticosteroids
did not support their use. However, meta-
analyses, and a review have suggested that
longer courses (5-11 days) of low-dose
corticosteroids might reduce mortality.
Immune System
Because rare instances of skin reactions and
anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions have
occurred in patients receiving corticosteroid
therapy, appropriate precautionary measures
should be taken prior to administration,
especially when the patient has a history of
allergy to any drug.

In patients on corticosteroid therapy subjected to
unusual stress, increased dosage of rapidly
acting corticosteroids before, during, and after
the stressful situation is indicated.
Adrenal cortical atrophy develops during
prolonged therapy and may persist for months
after stopping treatment. In patients who have
received more than physiological doses of
systemic corticosteroids (approximately 6 mg
methylprednisolone) for greater than 3 weeks,
withdrawal should not be abrupt. How dose
reduction should be carried out depends largely
on whether the disease is likely to relapse as the
dose of systemic corticosteroids is reduced.
Clinical assessment of disease activity may be
needed during withdrawal. If the disease is
unlikely to relapse on withdrawal of systemic
corticosteroids, but there is uncertainty about
HPA suppression, the dose of systemic
corticosteroid may be reduced rapidly to
physiological doses. Once a daily dose of 6 mg
methylprednisolone is reached, dose reduction
should be slower to allow the HPA-axis to
recover.
Abrupt withdrawal of systemic corticosteroid
treatment, which has continued up to 3 weeks is
appropriate if it considered that the disease is
unlikely to relapse. Abrupt withdrawal of doses
up to 32 mg daily of methylprednisolone for 3
weeks is unlikely to lead to clinically relevant
HPA-axis suppression, in the majority of
patients. In the following patient groups, gradual
withdrawal of systemic corticosteroid therapy
should be considered even after courses lasting 3
weeks or less:
• Patients who have had repeated courses of
systemic corticosteroids, particularly if taken for
greater than 3 weeks.
• When a short course has been prescribed
within one year of cessation of long-term
therapy (months or years).
• Patients who may have reasons for
adrenocortical insufficiency other than
exogenous corticosteroid therapy. In addition,
acute adrenal insufficiency leading to a fatal
outcome may occur if glucocorticoids are
withdrawn abruptly.
• Patients receiving doses of systemic
corticosteroid greater than 32 mg daily of
methylprednisolone.
• Patients repeatedly taking doses in the evening.
A steroid “withdrawal syndrome,” seemingly
unrelated to adrenocortical insufficiency, may
also occur following abrupt discontinuance of
glucocorticoids. This syndrome includes
symptoms such as: anorexia, nausea, vomiting,
lethargy, headache, fever, joint pain,
desquamation, myalgia, weight loss, and/or
hypotension. These effects are thought to be due
to the sudden change in glucocorticoid
concentration rather than to low corticosteroid
levels.
Glucocorticoids can produce or aggravate
Cushing's syndrome, therefore glucocorticoids
should be avoided in patients with Cushing's
disease.
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
hypothyroidism and frequent patient monitoring
is necessary.
Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders
Corticosteroids, including methylprednisolone,
can increase blood glucose, worsen pre-existing
diabetes, and predispose those on long-term
corticosteroid therapy to diabetes mellitus.
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
Diabetes mellitus (or a family history of
diabetes) and frequent patient monitoring is
necessary.
Psychiatric Effects
Patients and/or carers should be warned that
potentially severe psychiatric adverse reactions
may occur with systemic steroids (see section
4.8). Symptoms typically emerge within a few
days or weeks of starting treatment. Risks may
be higher with high doses/systemic exposure
(see also section 4.5), although dose levels do
not allow prediction of the onset, type, severity
or duration of reactions. Most reactions recover
after either dose reduction or withdrawal,

Patients/carers should be encouraged to seek
medical advice if worrying psychological
symptoms develop, especially if depressed mood
or suicidal ideation is suspected. Patients/carers
should be alert to possible psychiatric
disturbances that may occur either during or
immediately after dose tapering/withdrawal of
systemic steroids, although such reactions have
been reported infrequently.
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
existing or previous history of severe affective
disorders in themselves or in their first degree
relatives. These would include depressive or
manic-depressive illness and previous steroid
psychosis.
Nervous System Effects
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
seizure disorders and myasthenia gravis (see
myopathy statement in Musculoskeletal Effects
section) and frequent patient monitoring is
necessary.
There have been reports of epidural lipomatosis
in patients taking corticosteroids, typically with
long-term use at high doses.
Ocular Effects
Visual disturbance may be reported with
systemic and topical corticosteroid use. If a
patient presents with symptoms such as blurred
vision or other visual disturbances, the patient
should be considered for referral to an
ophthalmologist for evaluation of possible
causes which may include cataract, glaucoma or
rare diseases such as central serous
chorioretinopathy (CSCR) which have been
reported after use of systemic and topical
corticosteroids. Central serous
chorioretinopathy, may lead to retinal
detachment.
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
glaucoma (or a family history of glaucoma) and
ocular herpes simplex as there is a fear of
corneal perforation, and frequent patient
monitoring is necessary.
Prolonged use of corticosteroids may produce
posterior subcapsular cataracts and nuclear
cataracts (particularly in children),
exophthalmos or increased intraocular pressure,
which may result in glaucoma with possible
damage to the optic nerves.
Secondary fungal and viral infections of the eye
may also be enhanced in patients receiving
glucocorticoids.
.
Cardiac Events
Adverse effects of glucocorticoids on the
cardiovascular system, such as dyslipidemia and
hypertension, may predispose treated patients
with existing cardiovascular risk factors to
additional cardiovascular effects, if high doses
and prolonged courses are used. Accordingly,
corticosteroids should be employed judiciously
in such patients and attention should be paid to
risk modification and additional cardiac
monitoring if needed. Low dose and alternate
day therapy may reduce the incidence of
complications in corticosteroid therapy.
Systemic corticosteroids should be used with
caution, and only if strictly necessary, in cases
of congestive heart failure.
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
recent myocardial infarction (myocardial rupture
has been reported) and frequent patient
monitoring is necessary.
Care should be taken for patients receiving
cardioactive drugs such as digoxin because of
steroid induced electrolyte
disturbance/potassium loss (see section 4.8).
Vascular Effects
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
the following conditions and frequent patient
monitoring is necessary.
Hypertension
Predisposition to thrombophlebitis
Thrombosis including venous thromboembolism
has been reported to occur with corticosteroids.

As a result corticosteroids should be used with
caution in patients who have or may be
predisposed to thromboembolic disorders.
Gastrointestinal Effects
High doses of corticosteroids may produce acute
pancreatitis.
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
the following conditions and frequent patient
monitoring is necessary.
Peptic ulceration.
Fresh intestinal anastomoses.
Abscess or other pyogenic infections.
Ulcerative colitis.
Diverticulitis.
Glucocorticoid therapy may mask peritonitis or
other signs or symptoms associated with
gastrointestinal disorders such as perforation,
obstruction or pancreatitis. In combination with
NSAIDs, the risk of developing gastrointestinal
ulcers is increased.
Hepatobiliary Effects
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
liver failure or cirrhosis and frequent patient
monitoring is necessary.
Rarely hepatobiliary disorders were reported, in
the majority of these cases, they were reversible
after withdrawal of therapy. Therefore
appropriate monitoring is required.
Musculoskeletal Effects
An acute myopathy has been reported with the
use of high doses of corticosteroids, most often
occurring in patients with disorders of
neuromuscular transmission (e.g. myasthenia
gravis), or in patients receiving concomitant
therapy with anticholinergics, such as
neuromuscular blocking drugs (e.g.
pancuronium). This acute myopathy is
generalized, may involve ocular and respiratory
muscles, and may result in quadriparesis.
Elevations of creatine kinase may occur. Clinical
improvement or recovery after stopping
corticosteroids may require weeks to years.
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
osteoporosis (post-menopausal females are
particularly at risk) and frequent patient
monitoring is necessary.
Renal and Urinary
Caution is required in patients with systemic
sclerosis because an increased incidence of
scleroderma renal crisis has been observed with
corticosteroids, including methylprednisolone.
Blood pressure and renal function (s-creatinine)
should therefore be routinely checked. When
renal crisis is suspected, blood pressure should
be carefully controlled.
Particular care is required when considering the
use of systemic corticosteroids in patients with
renal insufficiency and frequent patient
monitoring is necessary.
Injury, poisoning and procedural
complications
Systemic corticosteroids are not indicated for,
and therefore should not be used to treat,
traumatic brain injury, a multicenter study
revealed an increased mortality at 2 weeks and 6
months after injury in patients administered
methylprednisolone sodium succinate compared
to placebo. A causal association with
methylprednisolone sodium succinate treatment
has not been established.
Other
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using
the lowest effective dose for the minimum
period, and by administering the daily
requirement as a single morning dose or
whenever possible as a single morning dose on
alternative days. Frequent patient review is
required to appropriately titrate the dose against
disease activity (see section 4.2).
Patients should carry 'Steroid Treatment' cards
which give clear guidance on the precautions to
be taken to minimise risk and which provide
details of prescriber, drug, dosage and the
duration of treatment.

Co-treatment with CYP3A inhibitors, including
cobicistat-containing products, is expected to
increase the risk of systemic side-effects. The
combination should be avoided unless the
benefit outweighs the increased risk of systemic
corticosteroid side-effects, in which case
patients should be monitored for systemic
corticosteroid side-effects (see section 4.5).
Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
agents should be used cautiously in conjunction
with corticosteroids.
Pheochromocytoma crisis, which can be fatal,
has been reported after administration of
systemic corticosteroids. Corticosteroids should
only be administered to patients with suspected
or identified pheochromocytoma after an
appropriate risk/benefit evaluation.
Paediatric population: Corticosteroids cause
growth retardation in infancy, childhood and
adolescence. Growth and development of infants
and children on prolonged corticosteroid therapy
should be carefully observed. Treatment should
be limited to the minimum dosage for the
shortest possible time. In order to minimise
suppression of the hypothalamo-pituitary-
adrenal axis and growth retardation, treatment
should be administered where possible as a
single dose on alternate days (see section 4.2).
Infants and children on prolonged corticosteroid
therapy are at special risk from raised
intracranial pressure.
High doses of corticosteroids may produce
pancreatitis in children.
Use in the elderly: The common adverse effects
of systemic corticosteroids may be associated
with more serious consequences in old age,
especially osteoporosis, hypertension,
hypokalaemia, diabetes, susceptibility to
infection and thinning of the skin. Close clinical
supervision is required to avoid life-threatening
reactions.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal
products and other forms of interaction
Methylprednisolone is a cytochrome P450
enzyme (CYP) substrate and is mainly
metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme. CYP3A4
is the dominant enzyme of the most abundant
CYP subfamily in the liver of adult humans. It
catalyzes 6β-hydroxylation of steroids, the
essential Phase I metabolic step for both
endogenous and synthetic corticosteroids. Many
other compounds are also substrates of
CYP3A4, some of which (as well as other drugs)
have been shown to alter glucocorticoid
metabolism by induction (upregulation) or
inhibition of the CYP3A4 enzyme.

4.6 Fertility, Pregnancy and lactation
Fertility
Corticosteroids have been shown to impair
fertility in animal studies (see section 5.3).
Pregnancy
The ability of corticosteroids to cross the
placenta varies between individual drugs,
however, methylprednisolone does cross the
placenta. In humans, the risk of low birth weight
appears to be dose related and may be
minimized by administering lower corticosteroid
doses.
Administration of corticosteroids to pregnant
animals can cause abnormalities of foetal
development including cleft palate, intra-uterine
growth retardation and effects on brain growth
and development. There is no evidence that
corticosteroids result in an increased incidence
of congenital abnormalities, such as cleft palate
in man, however, when administered for long
periods or repeatedly during pregnancy,
corticosteroids may increase the risk of intra-
uterine growth retardation. Infants born to
mothers, who have received substantial doses of
corticosteroids during pregnancy must be
carefully observed and evaluated for signs of
adrenal insufficiency. Hypoadrenalism may, in
theory, occur in the neonate following prenatal
exposure to corticosteroids but usually resolves
spontaneously following birth and is rarely
clinically important.
Since adequate human reproductive studies have
not been done with methylprednisolone, this
medicinal product, as with all drugs, should be
used in pregnancy only after a careful
assessment of the benefit-risk ratio to the
mother, embryo, foetus or child. When
corticosteroids are essential, however, patients
with normal pregnancies may be treated as
though they were in the non-gravid state.
Cataracts have been observed in infants born to
mothers undergoing long-term treatment with
corticosteroids during pregnancy.
Breast-feeding
Corticosteroids are excreted in small amounts in
breast milk, however, doses of up to 40 mg daily
of methylprednisolone are unlikely to cause
systemic effects in the infant. Infants of mothers
taking higher doses than this may have a degree
of adrenal suppression. This medicinal product
should be used during breast feeding only after a
careful assessment of the benefit-risk ratio to the
mother and infant.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use
machines
The effect of corticosteroids on the ability to
drive or use machinery has not been
systematically evaluated. Undesirable effects,
such as dizziness, vertigo, visual disturbances
and fatigue are possible after treatment with
corticosteroids. If affected, patients should not
drive or operate machinery.

The incidence of predictable undesirable side-
effects associated with the use of corticosteroids,
including hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal
suppression correlates with the relative potency
of the drug, dosage, timing of administration and
duration of treatment (see section 4.4).
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after
authorisation of the medicinal product is
important. It allows continued monitoring of the
benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product.
4.9 Overdose
Administration of methylprednisolone should
not be discontinued abruptly but tailed off over a
period of time. Appropriate action should be
taken to alleviate the symptoms produced by any
side-effect that may become apparent. It may be
necessary to support the patient with
corticosteroids during any further period of
trauma occurring within two years of
overdosage.
There is no clinical syndrome of acute overdose
with methylprednisolone. Reports of acute
toxicity and/or death following overdosage of
glucocorticoids are rare. In the event of
overdosage, no specific antidote is available;
treatment is supportive and symptomatic.
Methylprednisolone is haemodialysable.
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group:
Glucocorticosteroids,
Methylprednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid
and a methyl derivative of prednisolone.
Methylprednisolone is a potent anti-
inflammatory agent with the capacity to
profoundly inhibit the immune system.
Glucocorticoids act primarily by binding to and
activating intracellular glucocorticoid receptors.
Activated glucocorticoid receptors bind to
promoter regions of DNA (which may activate
or suppress transcription) and activate
transcription factors resulting in inactivation of
genes through de-acetylation of histones.
Following corticosteroid administration there is
a delay of several hours for the clinical effects
resulting from changes in gene expression to be
seen.
Other effects not related to gene expression may
be more immediate.
Corticosteroids influence the kidney and fluid
and electrolyte balance, lipid, protein, and
carbohydrate metabolism, skeletal muscle, the
cardiovascular system, the immune system, the
nervous system, and the endocrine system.
Corticosteroids are also critical in the
maintenance of function during stress.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Methylprednisolone Taj Phar ma : Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pictures, Warnings, Methylprednisolone Dosage & Rx Info | Methylprednisolone Uses, Side Effects -: Indications, Side Effects, Warnings, Methylprednisolone - Drug Information - Taj Pharma, Methylprednisolone dose Taj pharmaceuticals Methylprednisolone interactions, Taj Pharmaceutical Methylprednisolone contraindications, Methylprednisolone price, Methylprednisolone Taj Pharma Methylprednisolone Tablets 4 mg SMPC- Taj Phar ma . Stay connected to all updated on Methylprednisolone Taj Pharmaceuticals Taj pharmaceuticals Hyderabad.
Methylprednisolone pharmacokinetics is linear,
independent of route of administration.
Absorption:
Methylprednisolone is rapidly absorbed and the
maximum plasma methylprednisolone
concentration is achieved around 1.5 to 2.3
hours across doses following oral administration
in normal healthy adults. The absolute
bioavailability of methylprednisolone in normal
healthy subjects is generally high (82% to 89%)
following oral administration.
Distribution:
Methylprednisolone is widely distributed into
the tissues, crosses the blood-brain barrier, and
is secreted in breast milk. Its apparent volume of
distribution is approximately 1.4 L/kg.
The plasma protein binding of
methylprednisolone in humans is approximately
77%.
Metabolism:
Corticosteroids are metabolised mainly in the
liver but also in the kidney and are excreted in
the urine.
In humans, methylprednisolone is metabolized
in the liver to inactive metabolites; the major
ones are 20α-hydroxymethylprednisolone and
20β-hydroxymethylprednisolone.
Metabolism in the liver occurs primarily via the
CYP3A4 enzyme. (For a list of drug interactions
based on CYP3A4-mediated metabolism, see
section 4.5.)
Methylprednisolone, like many CYP3A4
substrates, may also be a substrate for the ATP-
binding cassette (ABC) transport protein p-
glycoprotein, influencing tissue distribution and
interactions with other medicines.
Elimination:
The mean elimination half-life for total
methylprednisolone is in the range of 1.8 to 5.2
hours. Total clearance is approximately 5 to 6
mL/min/kg.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
Based on conventional studies of safety
pharmacology and repeated dose toxicity, no
unexpected hazards were identified. The
toxicities seen in repeated-dose studies were
those expected to occur with continued exposure
to exogenous adrenocortical steroids.
Mutagenic potential:
Methylprednisolone has not been formally
evaluated for genotoxicity. Studies using
structurally related analogues of
methylprednisolone showed no evidence of a
potential for genetic and chromosome mutations
in limited studies in bacteria and mammalian
cells.
Carcinogenic potential:
Methylprednisolone has not been formally
evaluated in rodent carcinogenicity studies.
Variable results have been obtained with other
glucocorticoids tested for carcinogenicity in
mice and rats. However, published data indicate
that several related glucocorticoids including
budesonide, prednisolone, and triamcinolone
acetonide can increase the incidence of
hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas after
oral administration in drinking water to male
rats. These tumorigenic effects occurred at doses
which were less than the typical clinical doses
on a mg/m2
basis. The clinical relevance of these
findings is unknown.
Reproductive toxicity:
Methylprednisolone has not been evaluated in
animal fertility studies. Adverse effects on
fertility in male rats administered corticosterone
were observed and were reversible. Decreased
weights and microscopic changes in prostate and
seminal vesicles were observed. The numbers of

observed among the offspring of pregnant rats
treated with methylprednisolone in a dose that
was similar to that used for oral therapy in
humans but was toxic to the mothers. In
contrast, no teratogenic effect was noted in rats
with doses <1-18 times those typically used or
oral therapy in humans in another study. High
frequencies of foetal death and a variety of
central nervous system and skeletal anomalies
were reported in the offspring of pregnant
rabbits treated with methylprednisolone in doses
less than those used in humans. The relevance of
these findings to the risk of malformations in
human infants born to mothers treated with
methylprednisolone in pregnancy is unknown.
Safety margins for the reported teratogenic
effects are unknown.
