What you're talking about are called corticosteroids. Hydrocortisone, Decadron, prednisone etc. What's fun is trying to explain the difference to an 80 year old woman after she receives her prescription for a Medrol Dosepak.
"No, no, Mrs. Smith they're not that kind of steroid...Yes, mamn I realize the doctor was going to give you something else....Oh, no mamn I don't think he gave this to you to go along with Mr. Smith's Viagra prescription....Yes, mamn....no, mamn...yes, mamn it's for the poison ivy on your legs...Oh, I see...well, you shouldn't let Mr. Smith chase you around the backyard at night....Yes, mamn...well, have a good day...yes, mamn I'm sure he will...'click'."
