Corticosteroids, also called steroids, are man-made hormones that are anti-inflammatory in nature. These hormones are naturally synthesized by human body but their function is insufficient or impaired to combat a condition. Steroids induce the anti-inflammatory function to reduce swelling and pain. Long term use of steroids is harmful for body.
