The corticosteroids (for example, hydrocortisone and prednisone) are a
family of anti-inflammatory drugs that are commonly used in the
treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as asthma,
rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. These drugs reduce the
body's ability to activate vitamin D, resulting in decreased calcium
absorption and increased calcium excretion in the urine.
