HYLLERGIC 0.1G INJECTION

Description

Hyllergic 100mg Injection, marketed by Cipla Ltd., contains Hydrocortisone (100mg), a corticosteroid medicine. Hydrocortisone is a synthetic form of the natural hormone cortisol, which plays an important role in regulating inflammation, immune responses, and stress balance in the body.

This injection is prescribed in conditions where rapid control of inflammation or immune suppression is required. It works by reducing the activity of the immune system and blocking the production of substances that trigger inflammation, redness, swelling, and allergic reactions.
