How it works
Corticosteroids suppress the synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and pro-inflammatory cytokines within the joint. Reduces synovial fluid production and joint effusion.
Doctor or specialist administered only. Benefit typically lasts 4–8 weeks. Repeated injections (>3–4/year) may hasten cartilage loss over time — use sparingly. Not appropriate for active joint infection.
