Steroids (also known as corticosteroids) may be used to treat relapses in multiple sclerosis. Methylprednisolone is the steroid most often prescribed.
Not all relapses need treatment as, in most cases, the symptoms will gradually improve on their own. If the symptoms of your relapse are causing significant problems, such as affecting your eyesight or making walking difficult, your MS team or GP may suggest that you have a short course of high dose steroids. They should explain the benefits and potential side effects of taking steroids so that you can decide together on the best course of action in your particular situation.
