Popis: | Since their introduction, topical corticosteroids (TCs) have become a mainstay in treatment of many inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Their clinical effects are mediated by anti-inflammatory, vasoconstrictive, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive properties. These effects can also lead to multiple side effects if used non-judiciously. |
