Description

Dexamethasone is used systemically in high doses in emergency situations for anaphylactic reactions, spinal-chord trauma, or shock. It is used in managing and treating immune-mediated diseases such as immune-mediated hemolytic anemia or thrombocytopenia; some cancers; allergic reactions such as asthma, hives, and itching; inflammatory diseases and some neurologic diseases. Dexamethasone also is used topically to treat a variety of skin and eye problems.

Horses - Dexamethasone is given systemically to decrease inflammatory and immune responses. It is used in high doses in emergencies for anaphylactic reactions, spinal-chord trauma or shock. It is used in lower doses to treat allergic reactions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), hives, itching, inflammatory diseases including arthritis and to manage and treat immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. It sometimes is used systemically as a "performance-enhancing” drug because corticosteroids decrease inflammation, possibly enhance glucose metabolism (there is some debate about this) and may have some mood-elevating properties. Other corticosteroids are preferred for intra-articular use.
