Treatment add-ons
Steroids are sometimes offered as an immune add-on. They have side effects and should only be taken as prescribed. Never start or stop a steroid without clinical advice. The HFEA reviews the evidence for add-ons and publishes a rating for each; see the HFEA add-ons page for the current rating, as evidence can change.
Also known as: prednisolone, corticosteroids
