About R-Corts Injection

R-Corts Injection is primarily used to treat knee pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) and 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 (softens) the ends of bones erodes due to wear and tear over time.

R-Corts Injection contains triamcinolone, which helps control inflammation and allergy-related symptoms. It reduces redness, swelling, and irritation in the affected area. This helps relieve pain and discomfort. Overall, it increases comfort and promotes better symptom control.

R-Corts Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. R-Corts Injection may cause certain side effects such as sore throat, runny nose, sinusitis, dizziness, nervousness, cough, contusions (bleeding under the skin) and injection site reactions. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

R-Corts Injection should be avoided if you are allergic to it. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before receiving this injection. R-Corts Injection is intended for intra-articular use only. If you have osteoporosis (weak bones) or any other bone or joint-related problems, inform your doctor before receiving R-Corts Injection.
