high-dose steroids
Explanation:
Without any further context, I am guessing that the text refers to transplantation rejection, so it would be "high-dose steroids", possibly forming part of a pulse or bolus regimen.

It could also refer to stress-dose steroids, which is when a chronic steroid dose is upped to cover a stressful event (illness, surgery, etc.)
