Corticosteroids exert their effects by binding to glucocorticoid receptors, where they suppress pro-inflammatory pathways and enhance anti-inflammatory responses. The duration of action of dexamethasone varies based on the route of administration. These drugs have a broad therapeutic window, as patients often require doses significantly higher than the body's natural hormone levels. It is important to counsel patients on the risks of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression and increased vulnerability to infections during corticosteroid therapy.
The short-term effects of corticosteroids are decreased vasodilation and permeability of capillaries, as well as decreased leukocyte migration to sites of inflammation. Corticosteroids binding to the glucocorticoid receptor mediates changes in gene expression that lead to multiple downstream effects over hours to days.
Glucocorticoids inhibit neutrophil apoptosis and demargination; they inhibit phospholipase A2, which decreases the formation of arachidonic acid derivatives; they inhibit NF-Kappa B and other inflammatory transcription factors; they promote anti-inflammatory genes like interleukin-10.
