Dexaril 4 mg Injection 2 ml

Dexaril 4 mg Injection 2 ml belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids (hormones). When your body does not produce enough Dexamethasone, Dexaril 4 mg Injection 2 ml is often utilized to replace it. It treats various medical conditions, including severe allergic conditions, collagen diseases, pulmonary disorders, blood disorders, rheumatic diseases, skin diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, oedema, eye disorders, neoplastic states and endocrine disorders. It is also used in preoperative and postoperative support. Furthermore, it is approved for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adult and adolescent patients (aged 12 years and older with a body weight of at least 40 kg) who require supplemental oxygen therapy.

Dexaril 4 mg Injection 2 ml contains dexamethasone, a steroid with both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant activity. Anti-inflammatory activity relieves the symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as redness, swelling, and tenderness caused by various medical conditions.

Allergy: Allergy is a condition that occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is typically not harmful to your body. These foreign substances are known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods, medications, and seasonal allergies like hay fever, pollen, or pet dander. The symptoms of an allergic reaction include itching, rash, scratchy throat, itchy or watery eyes, hives or itchy red spots on the skin, or allergic rhinitis (which causes sneezing or nasal congestion).

Inflammation: It is a response generated by damage to living tissues. This response is a defence mechanism to protect the body from injury, infection, or disease. The symptoms of inflammation include redness, pain, swelling, heat, or loss of function. Inflammation can be caused due to certain medications, acute and chronic conditions, exposure to foreign materials or irritants your body can't eliminate easily. 

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Most persons who become ill with Covid-19 will have mild to moderate symptoms and recover without specific therapy. Some, though, will become extremely unwell and require medical assistance. The virus can spread from an infected person's mouth or nose in microscopic liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing, or breathe. Fever, cough, tiredness, and loss of taste or smell are the most common side effects of Covid-19.
