What are the uses of dexamethasone injection, and how does it treat inflammation? - #14784
I recently heard that dexamethasone injection is used to treat inflammation, but I’m not sure how it works or when it’s necessary. I know it’s a corticosteroid, but what specific conditions does it help manage? What is dexamethasone injection, and how does it reduce inflammation in the body? I read that it’s often used for conditions like arthritis, allergies, and autoimmune diseases—how does dexamethasone target the immune system to relieve swelling and pain? I also want to know how dexamethasone injection is administered. Is it given intravenously or intramuscularly, and how quickly does it start working? What are the potential side effects of using dexamethasone, especially with long-term use? If anyone has had a dexamethasone injection, what was the condition treated, and how effective was it in reducing symptoms? Did you experience any side effects during or after treatment?
