Antiglucocorticoid

Antiglucocorticoids are medications used to reduce the production of the hormone cortisol by the adrenal gland. Cortisol is an important hormone that helps the body respond to stress, regulate blood sugar levels, and control inflammation. However, too much cortisol can lead to a number of health problems including Cushing’s Syndrome and other metabolic disorders. Antiglucocorticoids help reduce cortisol levels in the body to prevent these conditions. They can be administered orally, intravenously, or via injection, and are typically used in combination with other medications. Common side effects of antiglucocorticoids include weight gain, fatigue, and mood changes.
