Corticosteroids increase the number of beta-adrenergic receptors and increase or restore responsiveness of beta receptors to beta-adrenergic bronchodilating drugs. They do not influence the permeability of alveoli, muscle tone, or the structure of red blood cells.

Coal tar is administered topically.
