Macpred-8 Tablet contains methylprednisolone (8 mg) which works on the body as follows:

• Anti-inflammatory Action: Methylprednisolone is a powerful anti-inflammatory steroid which inhibits the release of substances in your body that cause inflammation. This helps in reducing symptoms such as swelling and allergic-type reactions.

• Immune System Suppression: By suppressing your immune system, Methylprednisolone assists in reducing symptoms caused by an overactive immune response. This helps manage a variety of health conditions where your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues.

These actions work together to help manage various inflammatory and allergic conditions effectively.
