Common Questions Answered that Might be Helpful
Q 1. Why is Dexamethasone given by injection instead of tablets?Â
Answer. In emergencies, the body needs fast action. Injection delivers the drug directly into the bloodstream. Tablets take longer to absorb. For severe allergic reactions, asthma attacks, or cerebral oedema – speed matters. That is when the injection is preferred over oral forms.
Q 2. Can Dexamethasone 4mg Injection be given to children?Â
Answer. Yes. Usually, it can be given to children, but the dose is not fixed- it depends on the child’s weight and overall situation. In many cases, the dose is roughly 0.15 to 0.6 mg of Dexamethasone for each kilogram of the child’s body weight per day, but it can vary. A paediatrician will calculate the correct amount of dexamethasone for the child by looking at the condition, plus the child’s weight, and how they are responding.
