Steroid is an immunosuppressive agent which depends upon dose and duration. Its also important for which indication it is given and how much dose and via which route!!! Steroid are also being used as treatment of severe COVID patients to save life. So its like a double edged sword. So its alws better to take any form of steroid with regular consultation with an expert. Self medication damages alot.
