Glucocorticoids (GCs) are immunosuppressive agents that inhibit early and late manifestations of acute inflammation and modulate subsequent repair. Therefore, GCs are widely used to treat inflammatory conditions, allergies, and autoimmune diseases. GCs are also prescribed to prevent or treat acute and chronic transplant rejection and graft-versus-host disease.
