Dexamethasone inj 3.8mg Pack of 1ml x 10

Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid (adrenocortical hormone). Corticosteroids are hormones that are found naturally in your body that help to keep you healthy and well. Boosting your body with extra corticosteroid, such as Dexamethasone, is an effective way to treat various illnesses involving inflammation in the body.

Dexamethasone can be used • to control cerebral oedema (swelling in the brain) caused by brain tumour or after neurosurgery, but not in cases of head trauma. Sometimes, the injection is given into the painful area itself e.g. inflammation of the joints (rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis).
