What Dexsol is and what it is used for
Dexsol contains dexamethasone sodium phosphate. This belongs to a group of medicines called Corticosteroids.
Corticosteroids are hormones that are found naturally in your body that help to keep you healthy and well. Boosting your body with extra corticosteroid, such as Dexsol, is an effective way to treat various illnesses involving inflammation in the body. Dexsol lowers inflammation, which could otherwise go on making your condition worse. You must take this medicine regularly to get maximum benefit from it.
Dexsol can be used for:
- replacing natural corticosteroids when levels have been reduced
- reducing swelling of the brain which is not caused by a head injury
- treating swelling (inflammation) and certain allergies
- treating cancer
- controlling how well your adrenal glands work. These are glands that are next to your kidneys
- croup in babies and children. This affects the windpipe and the two airways that branch off from it to the lungs. The top of the airway is slightly blocked causing a barking cough, hoarse voice, a harsh sound (known as ‘stridor’) and breathing difficulties.
