Cortisym 100mg Injection 1 contains hydrocortisone (100 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Suppresses Inflammation: Hydrocortisone works by blocking the production of substances that trigger inflammation, such as prostaglandins. This helps in reducing swelling, redness, and pain.

• Modulates Immune System: It lowers the lymphatic system's activity and volume, thus reducing immune cell circulation. This helps in preventing them from reaching sites of inflammation.

• Alters Body's Response: It influences the production of certain chemicals like histamine and leukotrienes thereby altering the body's normal response to infection and stress.

• Functions as Replacement Therapy: In conditions where the adrenal glands are deficient in producing enough cortisol, hydrocortisone acts as a replacement therapy.
