Effectiveness

How Dexamethasone Intensol Affects PatientsCorticosteroids are medications that stop inflammation in the body. Dexamethasone's effects last for different lengths of time depending on how it is taken. Corticosteroids can be taken in much higher doses than the body naturally produces. It is important to talk to a doctor about the risks associated with taking corticosteroids, such as a weakened immune system and increased risk of infection.

How Dexamethasone Intensol works in the bodyCorticosteroids help decrease inflammation by narrowing blood vessels and stopping white blood cells from rushing to the site of inflammation. They also promote anti-inflammatory genes and stop the formation of certain molecules that cause inflammation. Low doses of corticosteroids can reduce inflammation, while higher doses can suppress the immune system. When taken for a long time, corticosteroids can also increase sodium levels and decrease potassium levels.

When to interrupt dosage

The suggested dose of Dexamethasone Intensol is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Pink Eye, Brain and Keloids Scars. The amount of dosage alters, in accordance with the technique of delivery noted in the table below.
