Product introduction
Acucort 100mg Injection belongs to the class of corticosteroid medicines. It is prescribed for managing a wide range of health problems, including severe allergies, certain cancers, as well as disorders affecting the skin and eyes. It is particularly useful in situations where a rapid response is needed.

This injection is usually administered by a healthcare professional and is often given to people who cannot take the tablet form. Since it can reduce the body’s ability to fight infections, it is important to let your doctor know if you have symptoms like fever, sore throat, or any signs of an infection before starting treatment. Also, always inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking.

Some people may experience pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, which generally settles in a few days. Mood changes can also occur in certain individuals. If any side effects persist or seem concerning, it is advisable to consult your doctor.

This medicine should not be given to patients with systemic fungal infections, and those with a known allergy to its ingredients should avoid its use. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take medical advice before using it to ensure safety.

Benefits of Acucort 100mg Injection
This medicine reduces the release of natural chemicals that cause inflammation in the body. Because of this, it is effective in relieving a wide range of inflammatory and allergic conditions such as arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, and other disorders that affect the skin, eyes, stomach, lungs, and nervous system. By lowering the activity of the immune system, it eases swelling, itching, pain, and discomfort associated with these conditions.

It is important to follow the prescription exactly and not to stop using the injection suddenly without medical advice, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms. Since the medicine reduces immune defenses, it is wise to stay away from people who are unwell or have infections.

Possible side effects
Most reactions are mild and temporary. Some commonly observed effects include:
• Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection spot
• Mood-related changes

How it works
Acucort 100mg Injection is a type of steroid that decreases the production of certain chemicals in the body responsible for allergy symptoms and inflammation such as redness and swelling.
