Best Answer

It depends on whether you are talking about corticosteroids or anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids are widely used in medicine. It is similar to glucocorticoids like cortisol that is produced by your adrenal gland. Corticosteroids basically suppress the immune system and inflammation. So it is useful for inflammatory diseases where the root cause cannot be removed in order for the inflammation to subside. It is also used for autoimmune diseases where the body's immune system attacks the healthy tissues thereby causing inflammation. These are just some of the medical uses of steroids. There are many others.
