What is Dexamethasone used for?
Dexamethasone is a broad‑acting corticosteroid that modulates inflammatory and immune pathways in several disease groups. - Allergic reactions: Helps alleviate severe hypersensitivity symptoms such as airway swelling and skin edema. - Autoimmune disorders: Suppresses aberrant immune activity in conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. - Cerebral edema: Reduces intracranial pressure associated with brain tumours or postoperative swelling. - Dermatologic inflammation: Diminishes severe skin inflammation in conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. - Oncology supportive care: Mitigates chemotherapy‑induced nausea, vomiting and hypersensitivity reactions.
What are the side effects of Dexamethasone?
Dexamethasone may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.
Common Side Effects: - Hyperglycemia: Elevated blood glucose levels, especially in diabetic patients. - Mood changes: Irritability, anxiety or insomnia. - Gastrointestinal discomfort: Indigestion, nausea or abdominal pain. - Fluid retention: Mild swelling of the ankles or hands. - Skin thinning: Easy bruising or delayed wound healing.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe infection: Increased susceptibility to bacterial, fungal or viral infections. - Adrenal insufficiency: Potential for life‑threatening cortisol deficiency on abrupt discontinuation. - Osteoporosis: Accelerated bone loss leading to fractures. - Psychiatric disorders: Psychosis, severe depression or mania. - Vision problems: Central serous chorioretinopathy or cataract formation.
What precautions apply to Dexamethasone?
