dexazone

Action:
Dexazone ( dexamethasone ) is a synthetic
analogue of hydrocortisone. It is about 25 -50
times more potent than cortisone concerning
the anti- inflammatory gluco-corticoid effects
but with extremely weak activity on
electrolyte metabolism. Dexazone treats more
patients effectively at a fraction of the
milligram dosage, reduces incidence and
severity of hormonal reactions by other
corticoids, improves appetite and rarely
produces evidence of diabetogenic effect.
Indications:are recommended in the
management of any condition that responds to
adrenocortical steroid therapy including:
– Acute rheumatic fever (Rheumatoid
arthritis).
– Collagen diseases.
– Allergic and inflammatory eye and skin
disorders.
– Allergies of the respiratory system
(pulmonary fibrosis emphysema).
– Blood dyscrasias.
– Adrenal insufficiency.
– Nephrotic syndrome.
– Malignant diseases for temporary
symptomatic relief.
Dosage :
Varies according to the severity of the disease
and the response of the patient:
– Chronic non – fatal diseases. Begin with 0.5-1
mg daily, gradually increase until adequate
but not necessarily complete suppression of
symptoms occurs. Maintain minimum dose
that provides sufficient relief.
– Acute non fatal diseases: 2-3 mg daily (in
divided doses).
– Chronic potentially fatal diseases: 2-4.5mg
daily (in divided doses).
