    DESCRIPTION

    Dexamethasone is used to treat severe allergy, arthritis, asthma, and skin conditions. It is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties.

    Key Benefits:

  • Dexamethasone treats acute musculoskeletal inflammation, such as bursitis, carpitis, osselets, tendonitis, myositis, or sprains.
  • If any condition, joint, or accessory structure has a boney change, this medication is not likely to be helpful.
  • Dexamethasone is also used as supportive therapy for conditions like fatigue, heat exhaustion, influenza, laminitis, and retained placenta (when the cause of the condition has been determined and appropriately treated).

    Formulated For: Intended for bovine and horses.

  • Administer via intramuscular or intravenous injection at a rate of 2.5 mg-5 mg.

  • Dexamethasone is helpful for the management of many rheumatic, allergic, and dermatologic diseases, and other diseases that respond to anti-inflammatory corticosteroid treatment.
  • It may be administered intravenously as a supportive therapeutic option when the patient requires rapid hormonal response.
