Depo-Medrol is an injectable medicine containing methylprednisolone that is used to reduce inflammation and pain. It belongs to a class of steroid medications that reduce the body's immune system response, thereby alleviating the discomfort caused by inflammation. This medication is commonly used to treat arthritis, dermatitis, allergic reactions, and other conditions.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that temporarily numbs sensory nerves, thereby reducing pain. When Depo-Medrol is combined with lidocaine, it provides faster pain relief and longer-lasting results.
When using Depo-Medrol + Lidocaine, patients should strictly follow their doctor's recommendations and dosage. Possible side effects include pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, local infection, etc. In Hong Kong, this medication requires a doctor's prescription, and patients should have regular checkups to monitor for potential side effects. If serious adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately.

Make sure the syringe and needle are not damaged before use and follow your physician's instructions for accurate injection locations. It does not need to be taken with food, but patients should avoid excessive activity or heavy lifting that may increase pressure at the injection site.
Dosing Guidelines: The starting dose for adult patients is 40 to 120 mg per week, which may be adjusted based on symptom severity and individual response. The dosage for children is based on weight and age. It is recommended to start from 0.5 to 2 mg/kg per week and be adjusted by the physician as needed. The total weekly dose of 160 mg should not be exceeded. During dose adjustments, patients should be monitored for symptoms and any adverse reactions to ensure safe and effective treatment.
