How IVEPRED 1GM INJECTION Works
IVEPRED
1GM INJECTION is a corticosteroid medicine with anti-inflammatory and
immune suppressant properties. It boosts your body with sufficient
corticosteroid levels (cortisol, aldosterone) during deficient

It also
reduces the release of certain chemicals (prostaglandins) in the body
that causes pain, swelling and inflammation. It manages graft rejection
by suppressing the immune functions and protects your kidney from damage
in patients with kidney problems.
