Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones, produced in the adrenal cortex, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones. Corticosteroids are used primarily as anti-inflammatories but could be also used for treating some malignancies or natural hormone deficiency. Corticosteroids include: Betamethasone (Celestone), Budesonide (Entocort EC), Cortisone (Cortone), Dexamethasone (Decadron), Hydrocortisone (Cortef), Prednisolone (Prelone), Triamcinolone (Kenacort, Kenalog) and Prednisone (Deltasone).
