Steroids for inflamation

[gonelifting]

Just came back from the doc for an inflamed throat (not positive but it might be trachea). She said I may need a steroid for the inflamation but would rather take a different route because of complications.

I was just wondering, what if I had started a cycle of Test, D-bol... even anavar, would that have cleared those symptoms or is that a totally different thing?

and YES I know she was`nt gonna give me "steroids" for muscle growth. lol


PS the reason I ask is I`ve had this problem on and off for MANY MANY years. I`ve never used any AAS and was wondering if a few cycles would have alleviated this problem a while ago?

Totally different type of steriod! your doc is talking about pregnazone(spelling?) which is also used for inflamed infections such as spider bites!

Yes, two totally different types of steroids. Anabolics are used to promote muscle growth while the one's your doc is looking to give you are to decrease inflamation.

agreed. anti inflammatories are usually corticosteriods. Catabolic, and not helpful at all for muscle growth.

Introduction
Drugs in this category
Safetychecker summary
Corticosteroids are a family of drugs that include cortisol (hydrocortisone)—an adrenal hormone found naturally in the body—as well as synthetic drugs. Though natural and synthetic corticosteroids are both potent anti-inflammatory compounds, the synthetics exert a stronger effect. Oral forms of corticosteroids are used to treat numerous autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including asthma, bursitis, Crohn’s disease, skin disorders, tendinitis, ulcerative colitis, and others. They are also used to treat severe allergic reactions and to prevent rejection after organ transplant.

Corticosteroids are available for inhalation by mouth to treat asthma and other conditions of restricted breathing, as well as by nose to treat symptoms of nasal allergies. Topical forms are available to treat skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, and hives. Some topical products contain combinations of corticosteroids and antibiotics, and are used to treat ear, eye, and skin infections.

I did`nt think the stuff for my throat would help in muscle growth. Even if it did, I`m sure the dosage would not be enough. What my question was..., is The steroids used for muscle developement, good for the problem I have with my throat? (not the other way around)

The question seemed to be answered anyway with the anti-inflamatory and non anti-inflamatory steroid reply. Thanks for the input.
