Get dexamethasone (generic Decadron) online prescriptions for inflammation

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid, a medicated form of the naturally occurring hormones produced by the adrenal glands (two small glands located above your kidneys). These glands produce corticosteroids that regulate inflammation, metabolism, stress responses, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. Dexamethasone is specifically used to treat inflammation and inflammatory conditions in various body parts.

Dexamethasone is only available via prescription written by a licensed health care provider. It is available in generic form. Dexamethasone is also supplied under the brands Decadron, DexPax, Dexamethasone Internsol, and Zema-Pak.

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with and any medications or supplements you are currently taking. Specifically, tell your provider if you are taking anticoagulants, arthritis medications, NSAIDs, hormone medications, diuretics, or oral contraceptives. In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant. Dexamethasone can interact with other forms of medication, causing potentially serious side effects.

Dexamethasone is commonly supplied as an oral tablet or liquid solution to be taken orally. The prescribed dosage varies depending on the patient’s age, body weight, and condition.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, you should skip the missed dose and take the next one as scheduled.
