INDICATIONS:

Dexamethasone is a potent glucocorticoid with minimal mineralocorticoid activity. Dexamethasone has ten to twenty times the anti-inflammatory activity of prednisolone. Following intramuscular injection this soluble ester of dexamethasone is rapidly absorbed and hydrolysed to the parent alcohol giving a prompt response which is maintained for approximately 48 hours. This product may be used whenever a parental corticosteroid preparation giving a medium duration of activity is indicated. It can be used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent in horses, dogs and cats. The product can also be used as supportive therapy in cases of shock in horses.

ADMINISTRATION AND DOSAGE:

This product may be administered by intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection in horses, dogs and cats. The product may also be given by intra-articular injection in horses. Normal aseptic techniques should be observed. To measure small volumes of less than 1 ml a suitably graduated syringe should be used to ensure accurate administration of the correct dose.
