A member asked:
Which organ metabolizes corticosteroids? (prednisone, decadron, (dexamethasone) medrol) would it be the liver or the kidneys?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Liver: Liver is your answer. The kidneys get put some of the metabolites that are produced after liver starts the process off.
