Cortilog 16 Mg Tablet 10 contains methylprednisolone (16 mg) which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Glucocorticoid Receptor Activation: Methylprednisolone binds to specific receptors within cells in your body called glucocorticoid receptors. This interaction leads to the activation of anti-inflammatory genes and suppression of pro-inflammatory genes.
• Inhibition of Inflammatory Chemicals: Methylprednisolone inhibits chemicals that cause inflammation in the body, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. By inhibiting these chemicals, it successfully reduces inflammation and suppresses allergic reactions.
