IV Steroid Therapy
High-Dose Corticosteroids
Intravenous steroid therapy delivers powerful anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive medications directly into the bloodstream. This approach provides rapid relief for acute flares of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
Rapid Relief
IV steroids work quickly to reduce inflammation and suppress immune system overactivity. They are particularly effective during acute disease flares when rapid control of symptoms is needed.
- Faster than oral steroids
- Higher therapeutic levels
- Critical for acute flares
How They Work
Corticosteroids reduce inflammation, suppress immune responses, and decrease the production of chemicals that cause swelling and tissue damage. IV delivery ensures complete absorption.
- Reduces inflammation
- Modulates immune response
- Prevents tissue damage
Conditions Treated with IV Steroids
IV steroid therapy is used to manage acute flares of many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
Multiple Sclerosis Relapses
High-dose IV steroids are the standard treatment for acute MS relapses, reducing inflammation in the central nervous system.
Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)
IV steroids help control severe lupus flares affecting organs such as the kidneys, heart, or lungs.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Flares
Used during severe flares to rapidly reduce joint inflammation and pain when other treatments are insufficient.
