Zycort 40mg injection is an anti-inflammatory drug belonging to the class of glucocorticoids, containing the active ingredient methylprednisolone. It is used to treat inflammatory or allergic conditions affecting the brain (caused by tumor or meningitis), lungs (caused by asthma, hypersensitivity, tuberculosis, or breathing in vomit or stomach contents), gut, and bowel (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis). It is also used to treat rheumatic, skin, eye, and endocrine disorders. It is used for the palliative management of cancers (leukemia and lymphoma) and reduction of pain after surgery. In higher doses, it is used to treat flare-ups of symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Zycort 40mg injection should not be used if you have a fungal infection, swelling of the brain due to malaria, traumatic brain injury or if you recently had vaccinated or about to have any vaccination. The common side effects that are likely to occur with this medicine are headache, vision problems, poor wound healing, and bone weakness. Some serious side effects also include blood clots in the leg veins, lungs and bleeding ulcers. Inform your healthcare provider if these side effects concern you or persist for longer than usual. Consult your doctor immediately for more advice. This medicine can cause several side effects related to electrolyte and fluid balance. When given in large doses, these medications can increase blood pressure, cause salt and water retention, and increase excretion of potassium. These effects are less likely to occur with prolonged use or high doses. To prevent these side effects, dietary salt restriction and potassium supplementation may be necessary. Your healthcare provider will monitor your blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and kidney function closely while you are taking corticosteroids to prevent the side effects. In addition, all corticosteroids can increase calcium excretion, which can lead to osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures with prolonged use. Your doctor will prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplementation to help and maintain bone health while taking corticosteroids. Tell your physician about all the medications you have been taking recently, including herbal medicines and supplements, before taking Zycort 40mg injection.
