Description
Buy dexatat Dexamethasone is one of the synthetic glucocorticoids. Compared to the cortisol synthesized i n the body, dexamethasone has a 25 times stronger anti-inflammatory effect. Because of its negligible mineralocorticoid activity, dexamethasone is classified as a glucocorticoid. Dexamethasone interferes with the hypothalamic-pituitary control loop via an inhibition of ACTH synthesis (in the sense of negative feedback), which leads to an inhibition of endogenous cortisol secretion in the adrenal cortex (NNR) and can lead to NNR insufficiency with prolonged use. Dexamethasone develops its pharmacological properties after passive absorption into the cells: specific genes are regulated after binding to the cytosolic receptor.
The sodium salt of dexamethasone phosphate is characterized by its high water solubility. The stable, water-clear injection solution Dexatat ® therefore offers the advantage that intravenous administration can also take place. This is of particular importance in all acute cases where an immediate effect is desired. Furthermore, the intra-articular injection of the solution is particularly well tolerated.

| – | Gastrointestinal ulcers |
| – | Osteoporosis, arthropathy, skin atrophy, muscle wasting |
| – | Birth in ruminants in the last third of pregnancy |
| – | decreased milk yield |
| – | decreased glucose tolerance |
| – | Lowering the seizure threshold |
| – | ACTH suppression, NNR inactivity atrophy |
Edible tissues: cattle, sheep, goat, horse 16 days; Pig 4 days
milk: 4 days
INTERACTIONS
| – | Potassium loss from certain diuretics (loop diuretics and thiazides) is increased. This results in reduced cardiac glycoside tolerance |
| – | Combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) increases the risk of gastrointestinal ulcerations |
| – | The insulin requirement of diabetics can be increased |
| – | Pharmaceuticals that induce the liver enzymes reduce the effect |
