(steroid) skin preparations similar to hydrocortisone. The medicines in this group differ primarily by the strength of each compound. Their purpose is to decrease local swelling, inflammation, burning and itching.
a hormone used to control inflammation.
A hormone produced by the adrenal gland that regulates the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, sodium, potassium, and proteins, and is also used as an anti-inflammatory agent.
A glucocorticoid that has various metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects in the body.

a hormone produced by the adrenal gland, which may also be administered to help control inflammation.
