WHAT DEXMETHSONE
IS USED FOR
DEXMETHSONE contains
dexamethasone as the active
ingredient. It belongs to a group of
medicines called corticosteroids
which are a synthetic version of a
naturally occurring body hormone
called cortisol.
DEXMETHSONE
is
used
in
the
treatment
of
many
different
conditions
including
severe
allergies, severe or chronic asthma,
skin
problems,
arthritis,
inflammatory diseases of the bowel,
some types of cancer and “auto-
immune” diseases.
It is also used to prevent or reduce
the
symptoms
of
inflammation
(such
as
swelling,
redness,
pain,
tenderness or itching) in any part of
the
body.
These
symptoms
can
occur in response to injury or can
be
caused
by
many
different
conditions.
DEXMETHSONE works by acting
on
the
immune
system
and
blocking
the
production
of
substances that trigger allergic and
inflammatory actions.
