Current researchIs there research studying corticosteroids? Corticosteroids have been around for a long time, but research is still needed to improve the treatment of various diseases.
In recent years, new corticosteroids have been developed that may be
safer than prednisone. However, they still are experimental and not
available for general use. Credits The Arthritis Foundation and the University of Washington Department
of Orthopaedics do not endorse any brand name or generic name
medication listed here.
