Hello
Predmet 4 is a methylprednisolone 4 mg and is a steroid .
Please note down these side effects of predmet , so that you will receive your answer .These are :
Edema, hypertension , arrhythmia, HIRSUTISM ( GROWTH OF HAIRS ) , acne , skin atrophy, muscle weakness , osteoporosis ,a rthralgia , leucocytosis and many more over endocrine , cns .
Slowly you tapered the drug but you mentioned in the query that after stopping the predmet HAIRS fall started .
So in my opinion predmet is not responsible for hairs fall but may be other reasons of hairs fall.
So in my opinion consult a DERMATOLOGIST and get his opinion regarding hairs fall.
Hope this will help you.
