The goal of ADT is to minimize the suppression of adrenal function using corticosteroids.

<h3>What are corticosteroids?</h3>

Corticosteroids are also known as steroids. These are anti-inflammatory medicines that are prescribed for a wide range of conditions.

They are a synthetic version of the hormones that are normally produced by the adrenal glands in our body which are two small glands that present on top of the kidneys.

There are different forms of corticosteroids available. These are

  • Tablets; which are oral steroids.
  • Injections; which can be injected into blood vessels, joints or muscles.
  • Inhalers; are oral or nasal sprays.
  • Lotions, which can be gels or creams, or topical steroids.

Therefore, the goal of ADT is to minimize the suppression of adrenal function using corticosteroids.
