 Often in cases of inflammatory parenchymal disease, "corticosteroids should be given as infusions of
intravenous methylprednisolone followed by a slowly tapering course of oral steroids".It is suggested that therapy should be continued for a period of time even when the symptoms get suppressed because early relapse may occur.Sometimes, the medical doctors may suggest a different steroid depending on the nature of the disease, the severity, and the response to steroids.
