Corticosteroids are used to treat Addison's disease as it is a condition characterized by low levels of adrenal hormones, particularly cortisol. Corticosteroids such as prednisone or hydrocortisone are used to replace the deficient cortisol in the body. Insulin replacement therapy is for type 1 diabetes, thyroid hormone replacement is for hypothyroidism, and vasopressin/desmopressin acetate is for diabetes insipidus.
