Abstract

Steroid stewardship is the systematic effort to prescribe and monitor glucocorticoids in a rational manner, while balancing benefit and potential risk, in patients who require this therapy. Steroid stewardship includes pre-prescription screening, rational prescription, medical care during corticosteroid use, and appropriate monitoring after corticosteroid use has been discontinued. The current usage of this class of drugs has highlighted the need to focus on this collective responsibility, and ensure effective prescription, while minimizing adverse events.
