Cartipred 8 Tablet 10 contains Methylprednisolone (8 mg), which has several mechanisms of action:

• Inhibiting Inflammatory Chemical Production: Methylprednisolone reduces the production of chemicals called prostaglandins and leukotrienes that cause inflammation.

• Reducing White Blood Cell Migration: This medication decreases the movement of white blood cells to areas of inflammation in your body.

• Immune System Suppression: It interferes with the function of immune cells, such as T-lymphocytes, thereby suppressing the immune system.

• Altering Body's Response: Methylprednisolone changes how your body responds to stress and stimuli.
