Cortisone

Cortisone is a synthetic steroid medication that is primarily used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. It is commonly prescribed to treat various conditions such as arthritis, tendinitis, allergic reactions, and certain skin conditions. Cortisone works by mimicking the effects of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate the body's response to stress and inflammation.
