It is mainly used against aerobic and anaerobic Streptococcus Rosenbach, enterococcus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and meningococcus including Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Corticosteroid

Corticosteroids is the general term for hormones produced and secreted by adrena cortex. They are a type of steroid and are involved in a wide range of physiological systems, including the control of inflammation, carbohydrate metabolism, the concentration of electrolytes levels in the blood, and immune responses. They are secreted by factors that disrupt homeostasis in the body, such as […]
