Dermacortic steroids

Dermacortic steroids are medical drugs used by the United Nations Space Command.

Treatment
Dermacortic steroids accelerate tissue regrowth following catastrophic injuries where the body has experienced severe burns or trauma. The last stage of dermacortic steroid treatment is known to be overly stimulating and unpleasant, even to a Spartan-II. As a result, most individuals undergoing dermacortic steroid treatment are sedated.

Usage
Spartan-II Kelly-087 was treated with dermacortic steroids following burns incurred by a Mgalekgolo's assault cannon on Reach in 2552.
