Medrol dosage varies depending on the specific IVF protocol and individual patient needs. Commonly, a low-dose regimen of 4-6mg daily is prescribed, starting several days before egg retrieval and continuing through the luteal phase. Some protocols extend Medrol use to the early stages of pregnancy.
Administration is typically oral. Patients should swallow the tablets whole with water, preferably at the same time each day. Precise timing isn’t critical, but consistency is helpful. Adjustments to the dosage are at the discretion of the physician based on individual response and any potential side effects.
Potential side effects should be reported immediately to your fertility specialist. These might include increased appetite, weight gain, mood changes, or insomnia. Rare but serious side effects warrant prompt medical attention.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions meticulously. Do not alter the dosage or discontinue the medication without consulting your physician. They can provide personalized guidance and address any concerns you may have.
Remember to inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and allergies before starting Medrol. This allows for a safe and effective IVF treatment plan.
