Product Overview
This formulation contains Dexamethasone, a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid.
The “Pure Potency” Specialist:
- Extreme Potency: Dexamethasone is approximately 25 to 30 times more potent than Hydrocortisone and 5 to 7 times more potent than Prednisolone. This allows for very small milligram doses to achieve massive therapeutic effects.
- Zero Mineralocorticoid Activity: Unlike Hydrocortisone or Prednisolone, Dexamethasone has virtually no salt-retaining properties. This makes it the drug of choice for treating cerebral edema (brain swelling) and for patients with heart failure or hypertension where fluid retention must be avoided.
- Long Duration: It has a long biological half-life (36–54 hours), allowing for sustained suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
- COVID-19 Protocol: Recognized globally (RECOVERY Trial) as a life-saving intervention for hospitalized patients requiring oxygen support.

Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.
- Content Uniformity (Critical): Dexamethasone is a low-dose drug (0.5 mg is a tiny amount of powder). We use advanced geometric dilution and high-precision blending to ensure that every single tablet contains the exact claim amount. A variance here could lead to treatment failure or toxicity.
- Cross-Contamination Prevention: Manufactured in dedicated hormonal suites with validated cleaning protocols to prevent trace contamination of other non-hormonal products.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for conditions requiring potent anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive action:
- Cerebral Edema: Reduction of brain swelling associated with tumors or trauma.
- Severe Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis, severe asthma, and drug hypersensitivity.
- Autoimmune Disorders: Rheumatoid arthritis, SLE (Lupus), and Pemphigus.
- Oncology: Used as an anti-emetic (to stop vomiting) during chemotherapy and to treat Myeloma.
- Respiratory: Severe COVID-19 (patients on oxygen/ventilators) and Croup in children.
- Diagnostic: Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST) for Cushing’s Syndrome.
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician):
- Route: Oral.
- Adults (General): 0.75 mg to 9 mg daily, depending on the severity of the disease.
- Cerebral Edema: Initially high dose (often injectable), followed by 4 mg orally every 6 hours, then tapered.
- COVID-19 (Severe): 6 mg once daily for up to 10 days.
- Tapering (CRITICAL): If taken for more than a few days, the dose MUST be tapered slowly. Abrupt stopping can cause Adrenal Crisis (fatigue, shock, death) because the body’s natural cortisol production has been suppressed.
Safety Warnings:
- Hyperglycemia: Dexamethasone drastically raises blood sugar. Diabetic patients require strict monitoring and insulin adjustment.
- Infection Risk: It suppresses the immune system, masking signs of infection (fever) and activating latent infections like Tuberculosis or Strongyloides.
- Psychiatric Effects: High doses can cause insomnia, euphoria, mania, or severe depression (“Steroid Psychosis”).
- Peptic Ulcer: Increases risk of stomach bleeding, especially if combined with NSAIDs.
