GlossaryCorticosteroids (Glucocorticoid)

hormones reducing inflammation and immune response, often prescribed for autoimmune diseases

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex and are used in medicine to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. They are commonly prescribed for conditions like asthma, arthritis, and autoimmune diseases, and can be administered in various forms, including oral pills, topical creams, and injections.
