The medication is used to treat a variety of conditions caused by inflammation, including severe allergic reactions, arthritis, blood diseases, breathing problems, certain cancers, eye diseases, skin or kidney diseases and immune system disorders. It works by slowing or stopping the body's immune response, which helps to reduce inflammation and swelling.
