Dexamethasone

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid medicine used to reduce inflammation and help control the immune response. It works by lowering the release of substances in the body that cause swelling, redness, and allergy symptoms.

It is used for conditions such as severe allergies, asthma flare-ups, and other inflammatory problems. Use only as directed, since dexamethasone can cause side effects and may not be right for people with certain infections, diabetes, or stomach ulcers.
