Zempred 4 Tablet is taken orally.

Zempred 4 Tablet consists of methylprednisolone (4 mg), which works as follows:

• Protein Synthesis Modification: Methylprednisolone enters cells and binds to specific receptors, altering protein synthesis.

• Inflammation Reduction: This process decreases the release of inflammation-causing chemicals such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

• Immune Response Suppression: It reduces the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reverses capillary permeability.

• Oedema Reduction: By doing so, it reduces swelling caused by injury or inflammation.

• Fibrosis Decrease: It suppresses collagen deposition, thus reducing fibrosis (scarring).

• Tissue Stabilisation: Methylprednisolone stabilises cell and lysosome membranes in injured tissues, preventing further injury.

• Store Zempred 4 Tablet at room temperature between 20°C to 25°C.

• Keep it away from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Ensure the medicine is out of reach and sight of children.

• Always remember to check the expiry date before use.

• If you're managing an autoimmune or inflammatory condition with Zempred 4 Tablet, consuming an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains may help reduce inflammation in your body.

• Engage in regular low-impact exercises like walking or swimming. These can help manage symptoms of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis without putting too much strain on your joints. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise regime.
