How does it work?
There is strong evidence that MPA has the ability to quickly, reliably and highly effectively treat eczematous disorders, with effectiveness equivalent to most reference topical steroids. It also has excellent local and systemic tolerability.
Manufacturing process:
The present invention is related to a procedure for synthesising methyl prednisolone aceponate. As an initial material for its synthesis, methyl prednisolone is used, followed by reaction with propionic acid, cyclic ester hydrolysis with 200-300 mesh G-type silica gel as a catalyst, and finally reaction with acetic acid. This invention produces methyl prednisolone aceponate products that are of high purity, have a low rate of side products, and are simple, mild in reaction conditions, and can easily be used in industrial production.
Side effects:
Skin thinning
Appearance of fine blood vessels on the skin surface
Stretch marks
Acne
Infection of hair follicles
Excessive unwanted hair growth
Redness and irritation around the mouth (perioral dermatitis)
Skin discolouration
