Pharmacological action of

corticosteroids for external use. Suppresses the function of white blood cells and tissue macrophages. It limits the migration of leukocytes to the area of ​​inflammation. It violates the ability of macrophages to phagocytosis, as well as to the formation of interleukin-1. Helps stabilize lysosomal membranes, thereby reducing the concentration of proteolytic enzymes in the area of ​​inflammation. Reduces capillary permeability due to histamine release. Suppresses fibroblast activity and collagen formation.

Inhibits the activity of phospholipase A2, which inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. It inhibits the release of COX (mainly COX-2), which also helps to reduce the production of prostaglandins.

Reduces the number of circulating lymphocytes (T- and B-cells), monocytes, eosinophils and basophils due to their movement from the vascular bed to the lymphoid tissue, inhibits the formation of antibodies.

Methylprednisolone aceponate inhibits the release of ACTH and -lipotropin by the pituitary gland, but does not reduce the level of circulating -endorphin. It inhibits the secretion of TSH and FSH.

With direct application to the vessels, it causes a vasoconstrictor effect.

With external and local application, the therapeutic activity of methylprednisolone is due to anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and antiexudative (due to vasoconstrictor effect) action.
