Omnacortil-30 Tablet contains Prednisolone (30 mg), and it acts on your body as follows:

Binds to Glucocorticoid Receptors: Prednisolone binds to specific receptors in your body known as glucocorticoid receptors. These receptors play a crucial role in controlling inflammation in your body.
Regulates Gene Transcription: Once bound to the glucocorticoid receptors, prednisolone helps in regulating the transcription of various genes. Transcription is the process by which genetic information is copied from DNA to RNA, and this regulation affects the production of proteins involved in inflammation.
Reduces Inflammatory Mediators: This medicine reduces the production of inflammatory mediators like cytokines and prostaglandins. These are substances your body produces during inflammation, and by reducing these, prednisolone helps manage symptoms such as swelling and allergic-type reactions.
