Corticosteriods

Glucocorticoids contain the hormones cortisol and cortisone

Prednisolone is the choice for inflammatory and allergy diseases such as FAD

The antiinflammatry effects are brought about by their ability to block the enzyme phospholipase . They also protect cells from inflammatory trauma by: 

stabilising the cell membrane

Stabilising lysosomal membranes
