Based on the information available, there is no direct evidence or studies suggesting that steroids can reduce ruxolitinib side effects. Ruxolitinib is a medication used to treat certain types of blood cancer and bone marrow disorders [1]. Common side effects of ruxolitinib include anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia [1].

Steroids, on the other hand, are a type of medication that can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including inflammation and immune system disorders [2]. Steroids can have side effects of their own, including increased appetite, mood changes, and difficulty sleeping [2].

While steroids may be used to treat certain side effects of ruxolitinib, such as inflammation or immune system reactions, there is no specific evidence or studies indicating that steroids can reduce ruxolitinib side effects in general. It is important for patients to speak with their healthcare provider about any concerns or questions regarding their medications and potential side effects.
