Prednisone Acetate Tablets

Function and Efficacy

Adrenal cortical hormones have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-rheumatic and immunosuppressive effects, and their mechanism of action is as follows: 1. Anti-inflammatory effect: This product can reduce and prevent tissue response to inflammation, thereby reducing the manifestations of inflammation. Hormones inhibit the accumulation of inflammatory cells, including macrophages and leukocytes at the site of inflammation, and inhibit phagocytosis, the release of lysosomal enzymes, and the synthesis and release of inflammatory chemical mediators. 2. Immunosuppressive effect: including preventing or inhibiting cell-mediated immune responses, delayed allergic reactions, reducing the number of T lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils, reducing the ability of immunoglobulins to bind to cell surface receptors, and inhibiting the synthesis and release of interleukins, thereby reducing the secretion of T lymphocytes to lymphoblasts.
