Corticosteroids are steroid hormones that reduce inflammation. They are produced by the adrenal glands and include hormones like cortisol. These steroids work by suppressing the immune response and inhibiting the production of inflammatory substances, making them effective in treating conditions such as Asthma, Arthritis, and Allergies.
