Synthetic glucocorticoids treat many diseases but have side effects. Strategies like compartmental administration and careful monitoring minimize risks and optimize therapeutic outcomes.

Area of Science:

Endocrinology
Pharmacology

Context:

Synthetic glucocorticoids are widely used for endocrine and nonendocrine diseases.
Managing side effects and enhancing therapeutic effects of glucocorticoids are key clinical challenges.

Purpose:

To review strategies for optimizing synthetic glucocorticoid therapy.
To explore the potential of understanding molecular mechanisms for developing improved glucocorticoids.

Summary:

Compartmental administration (topical, inhaled, etc.) and alternate-day dosing of intermediate-acting glucocorticoids can reduce complications.
Careful patient monitoring and gradual dose reduction are essential to prevent adrenal insufficiency or disease reactivation.
Understanding glucocorticoid molecular actions may enable development of novel agents with enhanced anti-inflammatory activity and fewer metabolic adverse effects.
