Corticosteroids are important, sometimes life-saving therapies and the most widely prescribed drugs worldwide. They play a role in treating a variety of inflammatory medical conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, among many others.1 However, they can have significant side effects at high doses or when prescribed long-term.

Meniere’s disease is a chronic condition that causes periodic bouts of vertigo, ringing in the ears, a sense of ear fullness, and hearing loss.1 It affects the inner ear, the innermost part of the hearing system that also has organs of the vestibular system, which is important for balance. It isn’t the most common cause of vertigo, so your healthcare provider may have to conduct a variety of tests to rule out other causes.
