Pharmacology

• Decreases the number of basophils, leukocytes, and mast cells at the epithelial level.
• Lowers the number of eosinophils, which are involved in allergic reactions and inflammation.
• Reduces the sensitivity of sensory nerves to mechanical stimuli.
• Decreases the secretory response to cholinergic receptor stimulation.
• Reduces fibroblast activity, which is involved in tissue repair and inflammation.
• Prevents the widening of blood vessels and reduces permeability, thereby minimizing fluid leakage into tissues.
• Prevents the release of proteolytic enzymes from lysosomes, which can cause tissue damage.
