Adrenal cortex hormone drugs. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-rheumatic and immunosuppressive effects, and its mechanism of action is: 1. Anti-inflammatory effect: This product reduces and prevents the tissue's response to inflammation, thereby reducing the manifestations of inflammation. It can 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 conversion of T lymphocytes to lymphoblasts.
