Metypred (methylprednisolone) can be used long-term, but only under close medical supervision.
Chronic use of glucocorticoids is sometimes necessary in the treatment of RA, but this is associated with the risk of side effects such as osteoporosis, hypertension or metabolic disorders. Therefore, it is important to monitor your health regularly and use the lowest effective dose possible. If possible, your doctor may aim to gradually reduce the dose or include disease-modifying agents.
