Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory medications prescribed for conditions like asthma, arthritis, and skin issues, helping reduce swelling and immune activity safely under medical supervision.
Corticosteroids are synthetic drugs that mimic natural hormones produced by the adrenal glands. They effectively suppress inflammation and modulate immune responses, making them essential in managing various health conditions.
These medications come in different forms, including pills, injections, inhalers, and topical creams, allowing for targeted treatment depending on the condition and severity.
Corticosteroids are commonly prescribed for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to reduce airway inflammation and improve breathing.
They help control autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus by suppressing overactive immune responses.
Topical corticosteroids are used to treat eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis to reduce redness, itching, and swelling.
Corticosteroids are also prescribed for allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and certain types of cancer therapy.
These medications work by entering cells and binding to glucocorticoid receptors, which then influence gene expression to decrease the production of inflammatory chemicals like cytokines and prostaglandins.
This process effectively reduces inflammation, swelling, redness, and immune system activity, providing rapid symptom relief.
