Cortilup 100mg Injection

Cortilup 100mg Injection

Cortilup 100mg Injection is a corticosteroid injection manufactured and marketed by Lupin Ltd, formulated with sterile Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate I.P. equivalent to Hydrocortisone 100mg per vial, for intramuscular or intravenous use. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid hormone that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation, redness, swelling and allergic reactions. Because it acts quickly once administered, Cortilup 100mg Injection is widely used by doctors and hospitals to manage severe allergic reactions, flare-ups of ongoing inflammatory illnesses, and conditions affecting the skin, blood, eyes, lungs, stomach and nervous system, including arthritis, lupus, psoriasis and ulcerative colitis. It is also used as part of a broader treatment plan in certain cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma, where it helps reduce swelling around tumours, treats nausea and vomiting linked to chemotherapy, and stimulates appetite in patients experiencing severe appetite loss. Cortilup 100mg Injection is a Schedule H prescription drug and must never be self-administered; it is given only by a doctor or a trained healthcare professional in a clinical setting, with the dose and frequency decided according to the patient’s condition and response to treatment. Because corticosteroids weaken the immune system’s response, patients on this medicine should avoid close contact with people who are unwell and should inform their doctor promptly of any signs of infection such as fever or sore throat. As with any corticosteroid, the lowest effective dose is generally used for the shortest necessary duration.
