Dexamethasone is the generic name for a corticosteroid used in a wide range of conditions. More specifically it's a glucocorticosteroid, which inhibits immune response and reduces inflammation, allergic reaction, inhibits nausea and vomiting, and stimulates appetite.

The effects of this medication may sound relatively mild, but patients who buy dexamethasone should be aware that it's a potent steroid and it should not be used frivolously. Long term use in particular can produce very severe side effects.

It's possible to buy dexamethasone in a range of formulations, including tablets, eye drops, nasal sprays, lotions, oral solutions, fluid for injections, and fluid for IV infusions. Which formula is ideal depends on the condition being treated. As a general rule injections and IV infusions are reserved for healthcare settings, while others may be used at home.

Conditions Treated

Dexamethasone is a versatile medication, used to:

• Inhibit inflammatory conditions
• Reduce immune system response
• Alleviate swelling in cancer
• Mitigate side effects of chemotherapy
• Increase appetite
• Reduce nausea and vomiting
• Alleviate symptoms of high-altitude sickness
• Prevent certain birth defects

Outside of healthcare settings, the majority of patients buy dexamethasone to treat inflammatory or allergic conditions, for which tablets can be used. Steroids, and dexamethasone in particular, are usually given when the condition is quite severe, and often when other steroids---such as prednisone---are unsuitable or not producing good results.

Patients can buy dexamethasone in a range of strengths, from 0.5 mg to 9 mg, depending on personal variables such as age, weight, the condition being treated, other conditions present, and so forth. A doctor will need to determine the ideal dosage.

A doctor will also need to determine how dexamethasone is used. For inflammatory or allergic conditions treatment usually consists of taking the medication daily, starting with high doses and quickly tapering off over the course of a week. Other conditions are highly variable; treatment may be daily, every other day, or less frequently. Treating overactive immune conditions or those in which steroids are not produced naturally---such as Addison's disease---treatment may last much longer than a week. In mitigating chemotherapy side effects, the medication may be taken for several days once a month, for however many months chemotherapy continues.

In other words, dosage, frequency of treatment, and duration of treatment can vary tremendously, and should be determined by a doctor.

That said, dexamethasone should, unless instructed otherwise by a doctor, be taken on a full stomach and with a full glass of fluid. It should generally be taken in the morning. Those taking dexamethasone for more than a week should gradually taper down dosage rather than stop abruptly.

Warnings & Side Effects

Patients intending to buy dexamethasone should be aware that, as a steroid, the medication will inhibit immune system response. This makes patients more vulnerable to all types of infections, which patients should be alert for and address quickly. Treatment with dexamethasone may need to be stopped until the infection is healed.

Fairly common side effects experienced include:

• Difficulty sleeping
• Heartburn
• Increased appetite
• Irritability
• Impaired wound healing
• Infection
• Muscle weakness
• Increased blood sugar

Those taking the medication long term may experience more serious side effects, which call for medical attention:

• Severe muscle or skeletal pain
• Irregular or rapid heartbeat
• Confusion
• Eye pain, enlarged pupils, or eye discharge
• Rashes
• Severe or persistant headache

While dexamethasone is sometimes used to treat birth defects, in general women who are pregnant should not take it. It is known to cause birth defects of its own.
