Usage

General Description

Dexamethasone 21-(sodium sulphate) is a synthetic corticosteroid that is used as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medication. It works by decreasing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation and by suppressing the immune system. The sodium sulphate component of the medication is added to enhance its solubility and stability for injection. Dexamethasone 21-(sodium sulphate) is commonly used to treat various conditions such as allergic disorders, skin conditions, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and other inflammatory conditions. It may also be used to treat certain types of cancer and to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. However, it is important to use this medication only as prescribed by a healthcare professional, as it can have significant side effects and may interact with other medications.
