New article on methylprednisolone use in pregnant women on carecure

Wise Young · 10-23-2001, 10:21 AM

I was recently corresponding with a woman who received methylprednisolone when she was injured while pregnant. The question whether methylprednisolone should be given to pregnant women was never well answered and I thought that I would take a look. In any case, I found a substantial amount of material indicating that the drug is being used in pregnant women for many other conditions and thought that it would be useful for there to be a web article that families and doctors could refer to that would provide data supporting the use of the drug in pregnant women. I just posted the article on carecure.

Thank you Dr. Young for taking the time to do all the research involved in this article and posting it. Too often women's health needs are not addressed in research articles, and this certainly is timely.
