Dermacortic steroids are medical drugs used by the United Nations Space Command for medical purposes. They accelerate tissue regrowth following catastrophic injuries where the body has experienced severe burns or trauma. They are carried aboard most UNSC ships and bases as a standard drug. SPARTAN Kelly-087 needed dermacortic steroids following her injury by a Hunter's assault cannon in the caves beneath Menachite Mountain on Reach in 2552.[1]
