Title: Explain how cortisol suppresses the immune system
Post by: ppk on May 11, 2011
Explain how cortisol suppresses the immune system, and why this is sometimes a useful therapy. What are some negative side effects of cortisol therapy? Why do doctors prescribe cortisol in doses that taper off at the end of the therapy period? Why do doctors sometimes prefer to prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs?
