NCIt definition : A topical, synthetic glucocorticoid with metabolic, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic
properties. Medrysone exerts its effect by interacting with specific intracellular
glucocorticoid receptors and subsequently binds to DNA to modify gene expression.
This results in an induction of the synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins
while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators. Consequently, an
overall reduction in chronic inflammation and autoimmune reactions is accomplished.;
