Dexamethasone Injection (DexaCare)

Dexamethasone Injection (DexaCare) is a synthetic corticosteroid having approximately 25 times the anti-inflammatory potency of naturally occurring cortisol. Dexamethasone commonly is used in both small and large animal veterinary medicine. It may be given by injection, inhalation, orally or topically.

Dexamethasone Injection (DexaCare)  injectable is for the treatment of ketosis in cattle and as an anti-inflammatory agent in both cattle and horses. As supportive therapy, dexamethasone injection 2 mg/ml may be used in the management of various rheumatic, allergic, dermatologic, and other diseases known to be responsive to anti-inflammatory corticosteroids.

It is important to note that AdvaCare’s dexamethasone injection is for veterinary purposes only, and whilst there are types available for human use, you should only use the kind that has been prescribed by a veterinary doctor or animal care specialist for an animal.

Side Effects:
As with all veterinary medicine, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of dexamethasone. Always consult a veterinary physician or animal care specialist for medical advice before use.

Dexamethasone side effects, such as SAP and SGPT enzyme elevations, weight loss, anorexia, polydipsia, and polyuria have occurred following the use of synthetic corticosteroids in dogs. Vomiting and diarrhea (occasionally bloody) have been observed in dogs and cats.

Cushing’s syndrome in dogs has been reported in association with prolonged or repeated steroid therapy.

Corticosteroids reportedly cause laminitis in horses.

For a comprehensive list of all possible dexamethasone side effects, consult a veterinary physician.

If any symptom persists or gets worse, or you notice any other symptoms, please seek veterinary medical treatment immediately.https://camelhorsemedrace.com/
