What is Understanding Corticosteroids and Effects about?
Corticosteroids are medications that mimic cortisol and are used to reduce inflammation, suppress the immune system, and provide replacement therapy for adrenal insufficiency. Their use can lead to adverse effects such as hyperglycemia, risk of infection, osteoporosis, and Cushing syndrome if used long-term or in high doses. Proper management includes monitoring blood sugar levels, tapering doses to prevent adrenal insufficiency, and encouraging lifestyle changes to mitigate side effects.
