Dexamethasone Injection IP 4mg per ml Uses

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid medicine used to treat a wide range of conditions such as severe allergies, skin diseases, asthma, arthritis, blood disorders, certain cancers, eye problems, and respiratory disorders. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. This injection is often used in hospital settings for acute conditions requiring rapid relief.

How Dexamethasone Injection works

Dexamethasone mimics the effects of natural hormones produced by your adrenal glands. It binds to glucocorticoid receptors in cells, altering gene expression to reduce the production of substances that cause inflammation and allergic reactions. This helps decrease swelling, redness, itching, and other symptoms of inflammation.

Common side effects of Dexamethasone Injection

Increased appetite and weight gain
Insomnia or mood changes
Fluid retention (swelling in hands or feet)
High blood sugar levels
Thinning of bones with long-term use
Increased risk of infections
