T38.0: Poisoning: Glucocorticoids and synthetic analogues
There are several medications that inhibit inflammation. These include glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids are messenger substances that are also formed in the body. You have poisoned yourself with glucocorticoids.
You can gain weight if you have too many glucocorticoids in your body, for example. It is possible that the level of sugar in the blood is too high. Sometimes, you are more vulnerable to disease pathogens, for example. Your bones may also become more brittle over time.
