DESCRIPTION:

for Injection q.s. Sodium Hydroxide and/or Hydrochloric Acid to adjust
pH to between

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
Dexamethasone is a synthetic corticosteriod and possesses
glucocorticoid activity.
Dexamethasone sodium phosphate is a salt of dexamethasone that is
particularly
suitable for intravenous administration because it is highly water
soluble, permitting
administration of relatively large doses in a small volume of diluent.
Dexamethasone, as a steroid, is equivalent in potency to some
established steroids while
being considerably more potent than others. In the case of the dog,
dexamethasone is
found to be about equivalent in dosage to prednisone but about 30 to
40 times more
potent than prednisolone.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE:
Dexamethasone-SP (dexamethasone sodium phosphate) is indicated as a
rapid adrenal
glucocorticoid and/or anti-inflammatory agent in horses.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Do not use in viral infections. Except when used for emergency
therapy,
dexamethasone sodium phosphate is contraindicated in animals with
tuberculosis and
chronic nephritis. Existence of congestive heart failure, osteoporosis
and diabetes are
relative contraindications.
