Steroids: The steroids are very potent anti-inflammatory medications that act the same as the natural steroids in our body. That means this medication is used only in precise situations for certain indications due to the dozens of side effects it has. It's recommended to be taken for a week, if it's necessary to take for longer periods, the dose need to be tapered down to avoid serious side effects.
