Steroid
Steroids are a key component in the treatment of various chronic and autoimmune disorders. They are essential for suppressing the immune response after organ transplants and for managing inflammation in conditions like asthma.
These medicines are highly effective in reducing inflammation and mucus production in the airways, making them crucial in the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases. Additionally, steroids enhance the efficacy of fast-acting relief medications.
Product Description
Steroids are synthetic versions of hormones naturally produced by the adrenal glands located above the kidneys. It’s important to distinguish **corticosteroids**, used medically to treat inflammation, from **anabolic steroids**, which are sometimes misused for bodybuilding. Corticosteroids do not affect the liver or fertility.
Guidelines
When taken in doses higher than natural hormone levels, steroids can:
- Effectively reduce inflammation (redness and swelling)
- Provide relief for asthma, eczema, and other inflammatory conditions
- Suppress immune system activity, which is helpful in autoimmune diseases
