Characteristics

This preparation contains the sodium phosphate ester of dexamethasone, a fluoro-methyl derivative of prednisolone, which is a potent glucocorticoid with minimal mineralocorticoid activity. Dexamethasone has ten to twenty times the anti-inflammatory activity of prednisolone.  Following intramuscular injection, this soluble ester of dexamethasone is rapidly absorbed and hydrolysed to the parent alcohol giving a prompt response, which is maintained for approximately 48 hours. Dexadreson may be used whenever a parental corticosteroid preparation giving a medium duration of activity is indicated.
