It reduces swelling and inflammation and calms down an overactive immune system. It is not the same as the anabolic steroids some people misuse to build muscle. It comes as tablets, soluble tablets, a liquid to drink and an injection (usually given in hospital). Eye drops and an eye and ear spray are separate products. It is a prescription medicine.
