Convulsions have been reported with concurrent use of methylprednisolone and cyclosporine. Drug that induce hepatic enzymes such as phenobarbital, phenytoin and rifampicin may increase the clearance of methylprednisolone. Drug such as troleandomycin and ketoconazole may inhibit the metabolism of methylprednisolone and decrease its clearance. Methylprednisolone may increase the clearance of chronic high dose aspirin. There are reports of enhanced as well as diminished effects of anticoagulant when given concurrently with corticosteroids.
Methylprednisolone acetate sterile aqueous suspension is contraindicated for intrathecal administration. It is also contraindicated in systemic fungal infections and patients with known hypersensitivity to the product and its constituents.

Glucocorticoids
Methylprednisolone binds to and activates intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. Activated glucocorticoid receptors bind to promoter regions of DNA (which may activate or suppress transcription). Unbound glucocorticoids cross cell membranes and bind with high affinity to specific cytoplasmic receptors, modifying transcription and protein synthesis. By this mechanism, glucocorticoids can inhibit leukocyte infiltration at the site of inflammation, interfere with mediators of inflammatory response, and suppress humoral immune responses. The antiinflammatory actions of corticosteroids are thought to involve phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, lipocortins, which control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Pregnancy Category C. Since adequate human reproduction studies have not been done with corticosteroids, the use of these drug in pregnancy, nursing mothers, or women of childbearing potential requires that the possible benefits of the drug be weighed against the potential hazards to the mother and embryo or fetus.
