• Anti-inflammatory Effects: This medication inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, substances in the body that cause inflammation or swelling.

• Immunosuppressive Effects: It suppresses the production of antibodies and reduces the activity of T-lymphocytes and macrophages, which are types of white blood cells that usually help protect the body from harmful substances.

• Metabolic Effects: Dexamethasone promotes processes like gluconeogenesis (the creation of glucose), lipolysis (the breakdown of fats) and protein catabolism (the breakdown of proteins). These actions help your body generate energy.
