Dexona Injection contains Dexamethasone (4MG) which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Binds to Glucocorticoid Receptors: Dexamethasone binds with receptors present inside your cells. This combination then moves to the nucleus where it can influence gene activity.

• Inhibits Synthesis of Pro-inflammatory Mediators: Dexamethasone reduces inflammation by preventing the making of substances like prostaglandins and leukotrienes that cause inflammation.

• Reduces Leukocyte Migration: It slows down the movement of white blood cells to areas where inflammation is happening, thus reducing swelling and discomfort.

• Suppresses Immune System: Dexamethasone dampens down your immune system by limiting the activation and spread of T-cells - a type of white blood cell that fights off foreign substances in your body. It also reduces the production of certain chemicals like interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma that aid in immune responses.

• Store protected from light at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.

• Always ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• To manage the symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, it can be beneficial to maintain a high-fibre diet to promote good gut health.

• If you're dealing with rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory conditions, incorporate omega-3 fatty acids into your diet. Foods rich in omega-3 include fish such as salmon and mackerel, seeds like flax seeds and chia seeds, and nuts.
