CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Glucocorticoids, naturally occurring and synthetic, are adrenocortical
steroids that are
readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Glucocorticoids
cause varied metabolic
effects. In addition, they modify the body’s immune responses to
diverse stimuli.
Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and cortisone),
which also have
sodium-retaining properties, are used as replacement therapy in
adrenocortical
deficiency states. Their synthetic analogs including dexamethasone are
primarily used
for their anti-inflammatory effects in disorders of many organ
systems.
At equipotent anti-inflammatory doses, dexamethasone almost completely
lacks the
sodium-retaining property of hydrocortisone and closely related
derivatives of
hydrocortisone.
