title: Progress in study on synergism and detoxification of Chinese medicine for glucocorticoid.
abstract: Glucocorticoid (GC) plays an important role in anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic effects and immunosuppression, and has become a widely used drug in clinical departments. However, GC also produces a number of serious side effects at the same time. After GC acting on human body, the syndrome change has some regular pattern and it can be treated on the basis of syndrome differentiation and stage to aim at further improving therapeutic efficacy. The Chinese medicine can reduce the side effects of GC when treating the primary disease, thus plays a role in Synergism and Detoxification.
