User Comments about Medrol
29 Apr 2011 The drug relieved my allergies within hours of taking it. The side effects were barely effective except for the gas. The only issue I found was that the drug had such large amounts of dosages on the first couple of days

16 Jun 2009 Medrol has been the one prescription that seems to help right away. The up side to this drug is it takes away the pain the inflammation makes and gives me energy. The down side is the potential side effects can be very bad.
