How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient is a related substance to cortisone. Cortisone is a hormone that is also produced by the body itself.
The active ingredient is mainly used to reduce chronic inflammatory reactions in the body, for example in the respiratory tract or digestive tract. The active ingredient inhibits the body's own processes that continue to feed inflammation in the body. In the case of chronic diseases, the inflammation can take on a life of its own and lead to far-reaching symptoms due to swelling of the affected skin or mucous membrane.
The substance only works optimally if it is used regularly.
