Cortisol Tablet 10 mg contains Prednisolone, a corticosteroid medicine used to manage a wide range of inflammatory, allergic, autoimmune, and endocrine disorders. It works by suppressing the body's inflammatory response and regulating immune system activity, helping to reduce swelling, redness, pain, and allergic symptoms.
Prednisolone is commonly prescribed for conditions such as asthma, severe allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), inflammatory bowel disease, skin disorders, blood disorders, and certain kidney diseases. It is also used as replacement therapy in patients with adrenal insufficiency. Cortisol Tablet 10 mg should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional, as the dosage and duration of treatment vary depending on the medical condition being treated.

How Cortisol Tablet Works
Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that mimics the effects of the body's natural cortisol hormone. It suppresses the production of inflammatory chemicals and reduces immune system activity.
Its therapeutic actions include:
-
Reducing inflammation and swelling
-
Relieving allergic symptoms
-
Suppressing excessive immune responses
-
Reducing pain and stiffness associated with inflammatory diseases
-
Replacing deficient corticosteroid hormones in adrenal insufficiency
These effects help relieve symptoms, prevent tissue damage, and improve overall disease control.
