The corticosteroid is also known as a natural hormone that comes from the adrenal cortex. This is a type of hormone that is related to getting good health. There are three classes of this hormone available. These three classes are androgens, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids.

These three have different functions throughout the body. There are times when people are recommended to take an extra dose of these steroids and the usual reason for this is to stop the inflammation that may be felt throughout the body.

Inflammation is usually signed that the white blood cells are trying to stop some foreign objects from getting into the body. This may also be a sign of infection.
