MPVR-40 is a medication used to treat various conditions, including:
- Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
- Severe asthma attacks
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
- Cerebral edema (swelling of the brain)
- Meningitis (inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord)
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) exacerbations
- Rheumatic disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Composition: Each 1mL vial of MPVR-40 contains 40mg of Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate, a corticosteroid medication.
Mechanism of Action: Methylprednisolone works by:
- Reducing inflammation and swelling by suppressing the immune response
- Reducing the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals, such as histamine and bradykinin
- Increasing the production of anti-inflammatory chemicals, such as cortisol and aldosterone
Dosage: The dosage of MPVR-40 depends on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to treatment. Typical dosages range from:
- 10mg to 20mg IV every 4 to 6 hours for severe allergic reactions or asthma attacks
- 20mg to 40mg IV every 6 to 8 hours for cerebral edema or meningitis
- 20mg to 60mg IV every 4 to 6 hours for multiple sclerosis exacerbations
Side Effects: Common side effects of MPVR-40 include:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Fatigue
- Increased risk of infections
Rare but serious side effects include:
- Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
- Adrenal insufficiency (a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol)
- Hypokalemia (low potassium levels)
- Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels)
- Increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures
Recommendation: MPVR-40 is recommended for patients who require high-dose corticosteroid therapy for a short period of time. Patients with a history of adrenal insufficiency or other medical conditions that may affect their response to corticosteroids should be closely monitored while taking MPVR-40.
Important Note:
- MPVR-40 should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider with experience in the treatment of the condition being treated.

- Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception while taking MPVR-40 and for at least 2 years after stopping treatment.
Special Precautions:
- Patients with a history of adrenal insufficiency or other medical conditions that may affect their response to corticosteroids should be closely monitored while taking MPVR-40.
