Hmmm...... perhaps "Solu-Medrol" and "Depro-Medrol" are not the same thing, as I was assuming?? I guess, too, that once the initial dose was given, as long as the meds were given every so-and-so many hours, there would still be a consistant level of it in the body. If these 2 meds ARE the same thing, and do not go to work for a few hours as I mentioned, I would still not depend on it in an emergency situation. Does this make any sense?! I’ll have to quiz my endo on this, and make sure that I understood her correctly! (and please pardon the - perhaps overly paranoid - precautions of a mom would lost a little CAH’er ;)
