Steroids are what help exercise to melt off more weight and build muscle.
Steroids are often given to patients along with one or more anticancer drugs and appear to help to control the effects of the disease on the body.
Steroids have been shown to be the most effective way to reverse severe wheezing and chest congestion associated with an asthma attack.

Anabolic steroids are manufactured or synthesized derivatives of the male hormone, testosterone.
Anabolic steroids are all synthetic forms of the male hormone testosterone.
Anabolic steroids are banned in most sports, any athlete found using them is usually suspended for long periods and stripped of any titles they may have gained whilst they were using steroids.

BECAUSE anabolic steroids are modelled on male hormones they can have a masculinising effect on the body.
When steroids are first used sexual interest increases because of the heightened frequency and duration of the erections.
Inhaled steroids are different from oral steroids.

Although topical steroids are invaluable for the treatment of skin diseases incorrect use may have disastrous consequences.
Steroids are often prescribed as a first line treatment by dermatologists despite the risks and long term low success rate.
Steroids may be required in some patients with more severe complications such as vasculitis or nervous system involvement.
