To : Barbara: Re : Depo-Medrol injection The Depo-Medrol injection is a repository form of methylprednisolone suspension. It is commonly used intrasynovially (inside the joint) for many inflammatory conditions. As such, it is slowly absorbed over several weeks and produces a longer anti-inflammatory response. The amount injected is almost always less than 80 mg, and this is absorbed slowly. This is significantly less than the exposure following high doses of oral prednisolone which we know are of no consequence to a breastfed infant when used acutely. I agree with this mom, she should find another doctor.
