Best Answer

Animals manufacture steroids for all types of bodily activities so in that sense they are part of normal function.

Steroids used for therapeutic reasons are also common.

Steroids, like any other drug can be misused and are not, in and of themselves bad.

A primary issue with the use of corticosteroids is that frequent joint injections destroy cartilage over time.

Many steroids are in use for immune suppression and again, this can be beneficial in a number of instances. However, there are certainly consequences to long term therapy and some side effects are worse than what is being treated.

Idea is to promote longevity and health in both humans and animals. Drugs used as performance enhancement treatments that mask a problem until it causes

irreparable damage are a misuse of a beneficial product.
