Terapeutiska indikationer:

Replacement Therapy Adrenocortical Insufficiency Dexamethasone has predominantly glucocorticoid activity and, therefore, is not a complete replacement therapy in cases of adrenocortical insufficiency. Dexamethasone should be supplemented with salt and/or a mineralocorticoid, such as deoxycorticosterone. When so supplemented, dexamethasone is indicated in the following: · Acute adrenocortical insufficiency · Addison's disease · Bilateral adrenalectomy · Relative adrenocortical insufficiency · Primary and secondary adrenocortical insufficiency Prolonged administration of adrenocortical steroids can produce dormancy of the adrenal cortex. The reduced secretory capacity gives rise to a state of relative adrenocortical insufficiency which persists for a varying length of time after therapy is discontinued. Should a patient be subjected to a sudden stress during this period of reduced secretion (for up to two years after therapy has ceased) the steroid output may not be adequate. Steroid therapy should, therefore, be reinstituted to help cope with stress such as that associated with surgery, trauma, burns or severe infections where specific antibiotic therapy is available.
