Corticosteroid is
a class of steroidal hormone, which is produced in adrenal cortex and is used
to care for several diseased conditions for instance renal disease, cerebral
edema, autoimmune disease, GIT disease, skin disease, and others. In addition,
naturally occurring corticosteroids are produced by the external portion of the
adrenal gland (two small glands that sit on peak of the kidneys) recognized as
the cortex. Additionally, steroids are used in organ transplantation &
replacement therapy. The hormones may be injected, orally, inhaled or applied
topically. Injected corticosteroids are used treating a specific location like inflammation
or pain attributable to tendinitis in a joint. The oral corticosteroids are
used to treat and help in control symptoms of chronic conditions like
rheumatoid arthritis, by reducing the inflammation of the body. Corticosteroids
are inhaled to care asthma by reducing the inflammation & swelling of the
airways, can also aid lower the risk & frequency of future attacks.
Corticosteroid is often
used as an anti-inflammatory prescriptions and immune suppressants to treat
asthma, arthritis, autoimmune diseases (lupus & multiple sclerosis), some
types of cancer (leukemia), skin conditions (eczema and psoriasis), and the
aftermath of organ transplant. Furthermore, some associated side effects are glaucoma,
high blood pressure, fluid retention, and weight gain. These side effects are
typically minimized by rinsing & gargling with water, without swallowing,
to patent any enduring medication. Some examples are included betamethasone,
prednisolone, prednisone, methylprednisolone, triamcinolone, and dexamethasone.
