Ravicort Injection 2 ML contains dexamethasone (4 mg), which acts on the body through these mechanisms:

• Binding with Glucocorticoid Receptors: Dexamethasone binds with intracellular glucocorticoid receptors in your body cells. This process is essential as it plays a significant role in controlling inflammation.
• Regulating Gene Transcription: The formed complex after binding moves into the nucleus of the cell where it helps regulate the transcription of various genes involved in the inflammatory response.
• Reducing Inflammatory Mediators: Dexamethasone successfully reduces the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and cytokines. The reduction of these mediators results in decreased inflammation, swelling, and pain.
