What is Dexamethasone Injectable Solution?

As supportive therapy, it may be used in the management of various rheumatic, allergic, dermatologic, and other diseases known to be responsive to anti-inflammatory corticosteroids. Dexamethasone Injectable Solution may be used intravenously as supportive therapy when an immediate hormonal response is required. Dexamethasone Injectable Solution requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
Benefits:

- As supportive therapy, may be used to manage various rheumatic, allergic, dermatologic, and other diseases
- Long-acting
How does Dexamethasone Injectable Solution work?
Dexamethasone Injectable Solution is a synthetic analogue of prednisolone, having similar but more potent anti-inflammatory therapeutic action and diversified hormonal and metabolic effects. Modification of the basic corticoid structure as achieved in Dexamethasone Injectable Solution offers enhanced anti-inflammatory effect compared to older corticosteroids. The dosage of Dexamethasone Injectable Solution required is markedly lower than that of prednisone and prednisolone.
Cautions:
Animals receiving Dexamethasone Injectable Solution should be under close observation. Because of the anti-inflammatory action of corticosteroids, signs of infection may be masked and it may be necessary to stop treatment until a further diagnosis is made. Overdosage of some glucocorticoids may result in sodium retention, fluid retention, potassium loss, and weight gain. Except for emergency therapy, do not use in animals with chronic nephritis and hypercorticalism (Cushing's syndrome). Existence of congestive heart failure, diabetes, and osteoporosis are relative contraindications. Do not use in viral infections during the viremic stage.
