Ilium Trimedexil

Injection

Actions
Intensive glucocorticoid and anti-inflammatory effect, providing at least 30 times the glucogenic activity of hydrocortisone with similar anti-inflammatory properties. Salt water retention is minimal, as is excretion of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, or nitrogen when administered in therapeutic doses.

Because of its regulatory effect on metabolism, TRIMEDEXIL is capable of exerting a diuretic effect in diseases associated with oedema and has significant mineralocorticoid activity.

It also corrects disturbances in metabolism, displaying prompt action in hypoglycaemic conditions.
