What Is Corticosteroid Therapy?
Corticosteroid therapy refers to the medical use of varying forms of corticosteroids to treat a variety of conditions. Therapy might be undertaken for short periods of time to address something like contact dermatitis, or some people will take one of the steroids most of the time for chronic inflammatory conditions or to dull immune response. There are many ways steroids can be delivered, and these include orally, topically, or via nasal or bronchial inhalation. Different types of steroids can be used, and delivery and type may change common side effects.
