Hi,
With the question “Does Medrol 4mg while pregnant have any effect? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Pregnancy management in patients with lupus erythematosus is a complex issue, requiring close coordination between an obstetrician and a specialist in allergy immunology. . You should go to the doctor soon so that the doctor has a plan to monitor and adjust the medicine accordingly. You should not change or stop any medication on your own before talking to your doctor.
Medrol can be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary and under the supervision of a specialist. Medicines can raise your blood sugar. You should have a healthy, low-sugar, low-sweet diet and monitor gestational diabetes screening in the opinion of an obstetrician.
If you still have questions about Medrol 4mg, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
