My Question is:

Since an overabundance of circulatory systemic steroids will inhibit production of ACTH, ACTH stimulates the secretion of glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoid is used in anti-inflammation.
Why should patients taking chronic daily doses of steroids be considered for steroid supplementation such as prednisone on the day of surgery or extraction of tooth?

Thank you

Black Rose.
