Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corticosteroids are known to decrease the absorption of calcium from the gut and increase urinary excretion of calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of bone fractures. NSAIDs, cyclosporins, statins, and H2 blockers do not have this effect on calcium absorption and excretion.
