Corticosteroids are primarily anti-inflammatory medications and are not designed to build muscle. While they can help reduce inflammation and pain, their use can lead to muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass over time. In contrast, anabolic steroids, which are a different class of steroids, are known to promote muscle growth. Therefore, corticosteroids do not facilitate muscle building and may have the opposite effect.

Can Corticosteroids have many muscle-building effects?

Corticosteroids are primarily anti-inflammatory medications and are not typically known for muscle-building effects. While they can lead to increased muscle strength in certain medical contexts (such as treating muscle-wasting conditions), they can also cause muscle weakness and atrophy with prolonged use. Additionally, the potential side effects, including weight gain and altered metabolism, often outweigh any possible benefits for muscle building. Therefore, their use for muscle enhancement is generally discouraged.
