Synthetic glucocorticoids have innumerable therapeutic applications and are frequently used in medical practice. Changes in the wide variety of synthetic molecules and the different routes of administration cause differences in anti-inflammatory action, therapeutic action and mineralocorticoid effects. Endocrinologists are generally consulted to evaluate the gradual decline in treatment, rather than to indicate it. We present general information and practical advice to the pediatrician to minimize the adverse effects and considerations to be taken into account for the suspension of treatment.
