Depends: sterouds are complex molecules with extremely varied and yet overlapping functions.
A question is truly impossible to answer as there are hundreds of different steroids both synthetic and natural. That being said there was no reason to believe the synthetic or bioequivalent or natural or any other appellation has any indication for the benefit of a certain steroid or medicine
