Composition

Dexamethasone (4 Mg)

DEXASONE 4mg Injection is used to manage severe allergic reactions, marked inflammation and a wide range of immune-related conditions. It contains dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, and is also used in selected eye disorders and certain skin conditions.

Dexamethasone works by strongly reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system, which can rapidly control severe allergic reactions, inflammation and immune-related flares when given by injection.

This injection is given into a vein or muscle by a healthcare professional, at the dose and schedule your doctor determines based on your condition.

Do not stop or change any related oral steroid treatment without your doctor's advice, as steroid doses generally need to be reduced gradually rather than stopped abruptly. Tell your doctor about any infections, diabetes, or history of stomach ulcers before treatment.

DEXASONE 4mg Injection is used in adults to manage severe allergic reactions, inflammation and a range of immune-related conditions where rapid action is needed.

Uses of DEXASONE 4mg Injection 2ml are:

Severe Allergic Reactions: Rapidly controls severe allergic reactions.
Inflammatory Conditions: Manages marked inflammation and immune-related flares.
Eye and Skin Disorders: Used in selected eye disorders and certain skin conditions.

General: Side effects are particularly more likely with repeated or high-dose use; you will be monitored closely during treatment.

Dexasone 4mg Injection 2ml contains dexamethasone (4 mg), which acts on the body through these mechanisms:

Binding with Glucocorticoid Receptors: Dexamethasone binds with intracellular glucocorticoid receptors in your body cells. This process is essential as it plays a significant role in controlling inflammation.
Regulating Gene Transcription: The formed complex after binding moves into the nucleus of the cell where it helps regulate the transcription of various genes involved in the inflammatory response.
Reducing Inflammatory Mediators: Dexamethasone successfully reduces the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and cytokines. The reduction of these mediators results in decreased inflammation, swelling, and pain.
