Medrol acetate side effects by duration, gender and age - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Side effects are reported by people who take Medrol acetate. Common side effects include acute pulmonary oedema among females and atrial fibrillation among males.
The phase IV clinical study is created by eHealthMe based on 76 reports from the FDA, and is updated regularly. You can use the study as a second opinion to make health care decisions.
Phase IV trials are used to detect adverse drug outcomes and monitor drug effectiveness in the real world. With medical big data and AI algorithms, eHealthMe is running millions of phase IV trials and makes the results available to the public. Our original studies have been referenced on 600+ medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature.
76 people who take Medrol Acetate and have side effects are studied.
