About Corty 10mg Injection

Corty 10mg Injection belongs to a group of medications called corticosteroids. It is primarily used to treat the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee and helps to reduce the joint pain, stiffness, and swelling associated with inflammatory disorders. Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis in which the cartilage that cushions the bone's ends erodes due to wear and tear over time. Common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness. The risk of osteoarthritis increases with increasing age.

Corty 10mg Injection contains ‘triamcinolone’, which belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. Thus, it helps reduce swelling, pain and discomfort.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age; the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons might include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.
