Steroids (Brand names: predisone, prednisolone, methylprednisolone, aristospan, redipred, predmix, maxidex, prednefrin) are hormones that occur naturally in the body. They are used as medicines to treat certain childhood rheumatic conditions (diseases which may affect joints, muscles, bones, skin or eyes). This can include juvenile arthritis (JIA), lupus (also known as SLE), uveitis, dermatomyositis and scleroderma. Steroids work by affecting the immune system and reducing inflammation.http://arthritisaustralia.com.au/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-06-at-2.08.14-PM.png
