DEXAMETHASONE- DEXAMETHASONE TABLET DEXAMETHASONE- DEXAMETHASONE TABLET DIRECT RX ---------- DEXAMETHAS ONE DESCRIPTION SECTION Dexamethasone Tablets 0.5 mg, 0.75 mg, 1.5 mg, 4 mg and 6 mg are for oral administration. Each tablet contains 0.5 mg, 0.75 mg, 1.5 mg, 4 mg or 6 mg of dexamethasone. Dexamethasone, a synthetic adrenocortical steroid, is a white to practically white, odorless, crystalline powder. It is stable in air. It is practically insoluble in water. It is designated chemically as 9-fluoro- 11β, 17,21-trihydroxy-16α-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione. Each tablet contains anhydrous lactose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose and stearic acid. In addition, the 0.5 mg tablet contains D&C Yellow #10 and FD&C Yellow #5. The 0.75 mg tablet contains D&C Yellow #10 and FD&C Blue #1. The 1.5 mg tablet contains FD&C Red #40. The 6 mg tablet contains D&C Yellow #10, FD&C Blue #1, and FD&C Yellow #6. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION Glucocorticoids, naturally occurring and synthetic, are adrenocortical steroids that are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Glucocorticoids cause varied metabolic effects. In addition, they modify the body’s immune responses to diverse stimuli. Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and cortisone), which also have sodium-retaining properties, are used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical deficiency states. Their synthetic analogs including dexamethasone are primarily used for their anti-inflammatory effects in disorders of many organ systems. At equipotent anti-inflammatory doses, dexamethasone almost completely lacks the sodium-retaining property of hydrocortisone and closely related derivatives of hydrocortisone. INDICATIONS AND USAGE SECTION Allergic States Control of severe or incapacitating allergic conditions intractable to adequate trials of conventional treatment in asthma, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, drug hypersensitivity reactions, seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis and serum sickness.
