How It Works
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation and immune responses by altering gene expression and reducing inflammatory mediators. It decreases swelling, redness, and allergic symptoms.
Directions for Use
Take exactly as prescribed, preferably with food to reduce stomach upset. Do not stop suddenly after prolonged use; tapering may be required. Take at the same time each day if on regular therapy.
Long-term use may cause adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, glaucoma/cataract, weight gain, infections, and delayed wound healing. Use caution in diabetes, hypertension, peptic ulcer disease, TB/other infections; avoid live vaccines during high-dose therapy. Seek help for fever, severe weakness, black stools, or vision changes.
Drug Interactions
NSAIDs (GI bleed risk), anticoagulants (altered effect), antidiabetic drugs (reduced control), CYP3A4 inducers like rifampicin/phenytoin (reduced steroid levels), CYP3A4 inhibitors like ketoconazole/ritonavir (increased steroid levels), live vaccines (reduced response/infection risk)
