Corticosteroids have multiple actions which produce antiinflammatory effects and result in their widespread use for treating diseases such as asthma. Historically, glucocorticoids were thought to decrease inflammation by stabilizing the lysosomes in neutrophils which prevented degranulation and the resulting inflammatory response .

Betnesol Tablets Warnings
Warning 1
Administration of corticosteroids may impair the ability to resist and counteract infection e.g. where there is a previous history of tuberculosis; in addition, clinical signs and symptoms of infection are suppressed.
Warning 2
Corticosteroid treatment is likely to reduce the response of the pituitary-adrenal axis to stress, and relative insufficiency may persist for up to a year after withdrawal of prolonged therapy.
Warning 3
Treatment of elderly patients, particularly if long term, should be planned bearing in mind the more serious consequences of the common side effects of corticosteroids in old age, especially osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension, susceptibility to infection and thinning of the skin.
