Dexam 4mg Tablet 8 contains dexamethasone (4 mg), which works on your body in several ways:

• Inhibits Leukocyte Infiltration: Dexamethasone works by preventing the accumulation of leukocytes at sites of inflammation. This helps reduce swelling and pain.

• Interference with Inflammatory Mediators: Dexamethasone intercedes with substances in the body that trigger inflammation. This includes proteins like cytokines that can cause redness and swelling.

• Suppression of Immune Responses: Dexamethasone suppresses certain responses from the body's immune system. This can help manage autoimmune diseases where the body mistakenly attacks its own cells.

• Control of Prostaglandin and Leukotriene Biosynthesis: Dexamethasone regulates the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting phospholipase A2 proteins, also known as lipocortins. These substances can increase inflammation if left unchecked.
