This question came about as my wife has just started a course of steroids to treat her Crohn’s Disease. They work amazingly well, amazingly quickly… But they are only a temporary solution as they have a range of significant side effects such as thinning of the bones, insomnia, etc…
Steroids are “old” in medical terms – why haven’t we managed to remove the side effects yet?
In: Chemistry
At best you can mitigate side effects, but if something will interact with one thing, it’ll interact with something else and humans are at *least* three or more things put together. So like you need oxygen to survive, but then oxygen is also theoretically the cause of aging (free radicals, etc).
The trick with medication and really anything else is moderation. Find the amount that does what you want it to do with minimal side effects.
