About dexamethasone

What is dexamethasone?
Dexamethasone (generic Decadron) is a long-acting synthetic corticosteroid that mimics hormones naturally produced by your adrenal glands. It’s commonly used to reduce inflammation and suppress immune system activity. Brand names include Decadron, Hemady, and Dexamethasone Intensol.

FDA-approved uses include:
Endocrine disorders: such as primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency
Rheumatic conditions: like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
Collagen diseases: such as systemic lupus erythematosus
Skin disorders: including severe psoriasis and dermatitis
Allergic reactions: including severe allergic responses
Eye diseases: like allergic conjunctivitis
Respiratory conditions: such as asthma and sarcoidosis
Blood disorders: including certain anemias and leukemias
Cancer treatment: as part of chemotherapy regimens
Edema: such as cerebral edema

Dexamethasone is also used to help manage complications from COVID-19 in patients who need oxygen or ventilation support.

How to get a dexamethasone prescription online?

Here are the steps for obtaining a dexamethasone prescription online on telehealth platforms like Klarity Health.

  • Step 1: Schedule a virtual consultation with a licensed healthcare provider.
  • Step 2: During the consultation, discuss your symptoms and treatment options.
  • Step 3: If medically appropriate, the provider will issue a prescription for dexamethasone, which can be sent to your preferred pharmacy.

How does dexamethasone compare to other medications?

Dexamethasone is often compared with other corticosteroids and anti-inflammatory drugs. Each has different potencies, durations of action, and uses.

Methylprednisolone (Medrol)Acute flare-ups of conditions like asthma or allergic reactionsLess potent and shorter-acting than dexamethasoneHas a shorter half-life and is often used for acute flare-ups
HydrocortisoneAdrenal insufficiency or topical inflammationLess potent and shorter-acting than dexamethasoneConsidered a mild corticosteroid
TriamcinoloneSkin conditions and joint injectionsLess potent and shorter-acting than dexamethasoneHas less systemic impact and is effective for local inflammation

Each medication has specific advantages based on the condition being treated and how long the anti-inflammatory effects are needed.
