Product Description:

METTHANS®-40 is a low-dose injectable corticosteroid formulation containing Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate, ideal for treating mild to moderate inflammation, allergic reactions, and acute exacerbations of chronic conditions. With its fast onset of action, it offers reliable anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects in emergency and outpatient settings.

It’s commonly used in rheumatologic conditions, asthma attacks, skin allergies, and post-surgical inflammation, where quick relief is needed and oral steroids are not feasible.

Key Benefits:

• Provides rapid control of acute allergic and inflammatory responses

• Suitable for mild-to-moderate conditions needing systemic steroid intervention

• Effective in outpatient, emergency room, and postoperative settings

• Short-term use for quick symptom relief without long-term steroid exposure

• Compatible with both IV infusion and IM injection routes

How It Works:

Methylprednisolone is a synthetic corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by suppressing immune system overactivity. It inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduces white blood cell activity, and prevents tissue swelling and damage, offering quick control of symptoms.
