Kelpcort-100 Injection
Composition:
- Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate Injection I.P. 100 mg
Description:
Kelpcort-100 Injection contains Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate, a fast-acting corticosteroid used in emergency and severe inflammatory conditions. It is administered via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) routes and provides rapid relief by reducing inflammation and suppressing immune responses. It is commonly used in critical care and acute allergic reactions.
Mechanism of Action:
Hydrocortisone works by inhibiting inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and cytokines. It suppresses immune responses, reduces capillary permeability, and stabilizes cell membranes, thereby decreasing inflammation, swelling, and allergic reactions.

- Adrenal insufficiency
- Shock management
- Inflammatory and autoimmune conditions
- Skin and respiratory emergencies
