The introduction of corticotherapy in the early 1950s has produced a real therapeutic revolution, completely transforming the prognosis for previously fatal diseases, especially systemic disorders.
The anti-inflammatory properties of cortisone has given it a leading role in rheumatology, and in the treatment of asthma and skin and eye problems.
However, corticotherapy still has to combat the bad reputation it has gained because of the serious side-effects it can provoke. Most of these can be prevented or reduced, but it is essential that doctors fully understand how to use it and the complications that can arise.
This extremely clear and detailed work will tell doctors, pathology by pathology, how to prescribe corticoids: how to administer them, how to choose the right product, the correct dosages, and the strict monitoring required.
