How It Works

Genkort contains a corticosteroid that mimics natural hormones produced by the adrenal glands. It works by reducing the production of substances that cause inflammation and by suppressing immune system overactivity. This helps control symptoms in conditions such as arthritis, lupus, severe allergies, and adrenal insufficiency where the body cannot produce enough corticosteroids on its own.
