Corticosteroid

Corticosteroids:
Corticosteroids are a class of naturally occurring and synthetic hormones that are involved in the regulation of many physiological processes in the body. They have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
These steroids are commonly used in medicine to treat a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus), allergies, asthma, and inflammatory skin conditions. They can help reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response.
Corticosteroids can have side effects, especially when used for extended periods. These side effects may include weight gain, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and an increased risk of infections.
