About Cortsayoka 100mg Injection

Cortsayoka 100mg Injection belongs to a class of medicines called corticosteroids used to treat symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching associated with allergic reactions or inflammatory processes. It is used to treat painful, swollen joints and tendons in conditions such as golfer’s elbow or tennis elbow. Also, it is used to improve different conditions such as ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the lower bowel), Crohn’s disease (inflammation of the gut), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLS), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (autoimmune disorder), severe shock due to infection or injury or failure of adrenal glands. Cortsayoka 100mg Injection may be used for a short duration when other means do not or insufficiently help in case of severe allergic reactions, severe asthma, chronic bronchitis or emphysema (lung disease that causes shortness of breath), or status asthmaticus (a persistent asthma attack).

Cortsayoka 100mg Injection contains 'Hydrocortisone', which inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. It also works as a replacement therapy for the natural steroid hormone cortisol.

Cortsayoka 100mg Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, Cortsayoka 100mg Injection may cause common side effects such as acne, increased hair growth, weight gain, dizziness, nausea, muscle weakness or indigestion. Most of these side effects of Cortsayoka 100mg Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to Hydrocortisone or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please inform your doctor before receiving Cortsayoka 100mg Injection.

Medicinal Benefits

Also, hydrocortisone works as a hormone replacement for cortisol (a natural hormone) when your body does not make enough cortisol as the adrenal cortex does not function properly (ex: Addison's disease). Cortsayoka 100mg Injection may be used in combination with other adrenal cortex hormones.
