Oftan Dexa is a corticosteroid that acts on inflammatory and immune pathways across several clinical areas.

- Allergic reactions: Provides rapid relief of severe hypersensitivity symptoms. - Cerebral edema: Decreases swelling associated with brain tumors or trauma. - Acute asthma exacerbations: Improves airway patency by reducing airway inflammation. - Post‑operative inflammation: Limits tissue swelling and pain after surgery. - Autoimmune disorders: Suppresses abnormal immune activity in conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus.

Adverse reactions may range from mild to severe and should be monitored during therapy.

Common Side Effects: - Elevated blood glucose levels - Mood changes or insomnia - Gastrointestinal discomfort - Facial flushing or skin thinning - Local injection site pain - Mild electrolyte disturbances

When using Oftan Dexa, clinicians should consider several safety measures to minimise risk.

- Assess baseline blood glucose: Monitor patients with diabetes closely. - Evaluate infection risk: Avoid use in uncontrolled systemic infections. - Review psychiatric history: Corticosteroids may exacerbate mood disorders. - Monitor electrolytes: Particularly potassium and sodium levels. - Consider bone health: Use calcium and vitamin D supplementation if long‑term therapy is anticipated. - Store at ambient temperature: Keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.
