Therapeutic Effects of Entofoam Enema 20.8gm
Entofoam enema 20.8gm is a corticosteroid hormone (naturally occurring hormone cortisol), which is produced by the adrenal gland. Cortisol plays an important role in regulating inflammation and immune function. When there is an injury or infection, the body responds by increasing inflammation and immune activity to help fight off the threat. However, the inflammatory response can sometimes become excessive or misguided, leading to tissue damage or autoimmune disorders.
This medication works by binding to specific receptors in the body and inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals and immune cells, thus reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response. This can relieve pain, swelling, and redness and help prevent tissue damage and further complications.
