Dexamethasone: Steroid Drug to Treat Allergies, Rheumatic and Skin Diseases

https://www.medindia.net/docto....rs/drug_information/

Dexamethasone belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids.

It works by preventing the release of a particular substance which is responsible for causing inflammation.

Dexamethasone is prescribed for treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, cerebral edema, multiple myelomas, multiple sclerosis, immunosuppression, brain tumor, shock, inflammation of fluid-filled sacs called bursa (bursitis), and tendinitis.

It is also used to treat inflammatory conditions and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Dexamethasone is preferred to be taken in the morning when it is prescribed as a once-daily dose. Intraocular pressure should be monitored if dexamethasone treatment is taken for more than six weeks.
