Corticosteroid (glucocorticoid). Depo-Medrone with Lidocaine is indicated in conditions requiring a glucocorticoid effect: e.g. anti-inflammatory or anti-rheumatic. It is recommended for local use where the added anaesthetic effect would be considered advantageous. Depo-Medrone with Lidocaine may be used as follows: Intra-articular administration Rheumatoid arthritis Osteo-arthritis with an inflammatory component Periarticular administration Epicondylitis Intrabursal administration Subacromial bursitis Prepatellar bursitis Olecranon bursitis Tendon sheath administration Tendinitis Tenosynovitis Epicondylitis Therapy with Depo-Medrone with Lidocaine does not obviate the need for the conventional measures usually employed. Although this method of treatment will ameliorate symptoms, it is in no sense a cure and the hormone has no effect on the cause of the inflammation.
