  • Title: [Glucocorticoids in rheumatic diseases - what is the optimal dose?].
    Author: Krause D.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 2012 Sep; 137(36):1751-4. PubMed ID: 22933199.
    Abstract:
    Glucocorticoids (GCs) have been an invaluable tool in the treatment of patients with rheumatic diseases. The aims of GC therapy vary for different indications from symptom management to disease-modification and immunmodulation. Even after 60 years of GC use, there is still a lack of knowledge concerning optimal therapeutic strategies with GCs. Taking this into account, optimal dosage schedules for inflammatory rheumatic diseases are discussed.
