Wenpred 40mg, 500mg, 1g

Description

Active Ingredient & Strength: Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate 40mg , 500mg, 1000mg
Therapeutic Class: Corticosteroid
Mechanism of Action:
Functions as a potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agent by binding to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. This suppresses the migration of white blood cells, reverses increased capillary permeability, and inhibits inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing swelling, redness, and immune responses throughout the body. It is used when a rapid, intense hormonal effect is required.
Indications:
Its indications span a wide range of severe inflammatory and autoimmune conditions:

• Rheumatic Disorders: Short-term management of acute exacerbations of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (including juvenile forms), acute gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
• Allergic Reactions: Control of severe, incapacitating allergic conditions intractable to conventional treatment, including severe asthma, drug hypersensitivity reactions, serum sickness, and anaphylactic reactions (following initial treatment with epinephrine).
• Gastrointestinal Diseases: To manage critical periods in diseases such as ulcerative colitis and regional enteritis (Crohn’s disease).
• Other: Organ transplantation, blood disorders (autoimmune hemolytic anemia), certain cancers (leukemias/lymphomas), and management of acute spinal cord injury.
