General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Ciprofloxacin & sulfamethoxazole are antibiotics, used to treat infections. Depend upon for which infection you were taking but they are not continued for longer times because resistance develops & infection does not settle.
Methylprednisolone & prednisolone are sister drugs & have same mechanism of action so do not worry
