Fluperolone
Fluperolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid used in the treatment of various inflammatory and allergic conditions. It is known for its potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Fluperolone works by inhibiting the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It binds to glucocorticoid receptors, which leads to the suppression of the immune system and a reduction in the production of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and prostaglandins.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]

Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Fluperolone should not be used in patients with:

- Known hypersensitivity to fluperolone or any of its components
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
Fluperolone exerts its effects by modulating the expression of genes involved in the inflammatory response. It decreases the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases the production of anti-inflammatory proteins.
Dosage[edit | edit source]
The dosage of fluperolone varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient's response to therapy. It is important to follow the prescribing physician's instructions carefully.
