Dexamethasone

Dexamethasone is a potent anti-inflammatory medication belonging to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It helps reduce swelling and inflammation in the body and is commonly used to treat various conditions, including allergies, asthma, and autoimmune diseases. Dexamethasone can also be given during severe COVID-19 cases to help reduce complications. While effective, it can have side effects, especially with long-term use, like weight gain, mood changes, and increased risk of infections. It’s important for patients to use it under medical supervision to manage these risks appropriately.
