Description
Methyltrionate injections are a form of injectable corticosteroid medication used to treat various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Containing the active ingredient methyltrionate, a synthetic glucocorticoid, this drug works by reducing inflammation and suppressing overactive immune responses.

How Do Methyltrionate Injections Work?
Methyltrionate mimics the effects of cortisol, a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the body, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppressing immune system activity.
This leads to:
-
Reduced inflammation
-
Decreased pain and swelling
-
Improved immune regulation
