Dexadreson 2mg
ml Solution for Injection may be used whenever a parenteral corticosteroid preparation giving a medium duration of activity is indicated. It can be used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent in horses, cattle, pigs, dogs and cats and for the treatment of primary ketosis in cattle. The product can also be used to induce parturition in cattle. Dexadreson is suitable for intravenous use in the horse and is thus of particular benefit in cases needing emergency treatment.This preparation contains the sodium phosphate ester of dexamethasone, a fluoro-methyl derivative of prednisolone, which 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.Recommended Dosage and AdministrationDexadreson may be administered by intravenous or intramuscular injection in horses, and by intramuscular injection in cattle, pigs, dogs and cats. The product may also be given by intra-articular injection in horses. Normal aseptic technique 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.Please see datasheet for detailed dosages, administrations and warnings.
