 These injections go right into your system, start working quickly and then fade quickly; they're often used in the treatment of 'acute' conditions - in which physicians want to bring inflammation down rapidly such as allergy, trouble breathing, flareups of arthritis, etc. They're also used to treat blood and intestinal disorders, eye diseases, etc.
