Dexamethasone 2mg Injectable

Dexamethazone 2mg Injectable Dexamethasone Solution is a synthetic analogue of prednisolone, having similar but more potent anti-inflammatory therapeutic action and diversified hormonal and metabolic effects. Modification of the basic corticoid structure as achieved in Dexium™ offers enhanced anti-inflammatory effect compared to older corticosteroids. The dosage of Dexium™ required is markedly lower than that of prednisone and prednisolone. Dexium™ is intended for intravenous or intramuscular administration. Each mL contains: 2 mg dexamethasone, 500 mg polyethylene glycol 400, 9 mg benzyl alcohol, 1.8 mg methylparaben and 0.2 mg propylparaben as preservatives, 4.75% alcohol, HCl to adjust pH to approximately 4.9, water for injection q.s. Item Specifications: For Use: Dogs, Cat, Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle and Horses Size: 100 Count Manufacturer: Bimeda Indications: Dexium™ is indicated for the treatment of primary bovine ketosis and as an anti-inflammatory agent in the bovine and equine.

Dexium™ may be used intravenously as supportive therapy when an immediate hormonal response is required. Bovine Ketosis - Dexium™ is offered for the treatment of primary ketosis. The glucogenic effects of Dexium™, when administered intramuscularly, are generally noted within the first 6 to 12 hours. When Dexium™ is used intravenously, the effects may be noted sooner. Blood sugar levels rise normal levels rapidly and generally rise to above normal levels within 12 to 24 hours. Acetone bodies are reduced to normal concentrations usually within 24 hours. The physical attitude of animals treated with Dexium™ brightens and appetite improves, usually within 12 hours. Milk production, which is suppressed as a compensatory reaction in this condition, begins to increase. In some instances, it may even surpass previous peaks. The recovery process usually takes from 3 to 7 days. Supportive Therapy - Dexium™ may be used as supportive therapy in mastitis, metritis, traumatic gastritis, and pyelonephritis, while appropriate primary therapy is administered. In these cases, the corticosteroid combats accompanying stress and enhances the feeling of general well-being. Dexium™ may also be used as supportive therapy in inflammatory conditions such as arthritic conditions, snake bite, acute mastitis, shipping fever, pneumonia, laminitis, and retained placenta. Equine - Dexium™ is indicated for the treatment of acute musculoskeletal inflammations, such as bursitis, carpitis, osselets, tendonitis, myositis, and sprains. If boney changes exist in any of these conditions, joints, or accessory structures, a response to Dexium™ cannot be expected. In addition, Dexium™ may be used as supportive therapy in fatigue, heat exhaustion, influenza, laminitis, and retained placenta provided that the primary cause is
