Decason 6mg Tablet 1 Strip
Decason 6 belongs to the class of corticosteroids, which are used to treat a wide range of medical conditions. It is particularly effective in managing inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, as well as severe allergic reactions. By blocking the release of inflammatory substances in the body, it helps alleviate swelling, redness, pain, and itching.
To minimize stomach irritation, this medication should be taken with food. It is crucial to take it as prescribed and not to discontinue use without a doctor's approval, as sudden withdrawal may cause worsening symptoms.

✅ Description:
Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects by:
- Inhibiting the migration of white blood cells to the affected area
- Reducing capillary permeability
- Suppressing the immune response
This helps manage inflammatory conditions and allergic reactions effectively.
Decason 6 is used in conditions such as:
- Severe allergic reactions
- Asthma
- Autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus)
- Skin disorders (e.g., eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, severe dermatitis)
- Eye disorders (e.g., uveitis, temporal arteritis)
- Certain cancers (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma)
- Nephrotic syndrome

✔️ Side Effects of Decason 6
Long-term dexamethasone use can cause adverse effects in multiple body systems:
Endocrine & Metabolic Effects
- Cushing’s syndrome (moon face, weight gain, fat redistribution)
- Hirsutism (excessive hair growth in women)
- Menstrual irregularities
- Increased blood sugar levels
- Calcium and nitrogen imbalance
Fluid & Electrolyte Imbalance
- Sodium and fluid retention (swelling, hypertension)
- Potassium loss leading to muscle weakness
Musculoskeletal Effects
- Osteoporosis (increased fracture risk)
- Muscle wasting (myopathy)
- Aseptic necrosis of bones (e.g., femoral head)
Gastrointestinal Effects
- Ulcers (stomach and intestinal perforation risk)
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Abdominal bloating
Dermatological Effects
- Delayed wound healing
- Skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks (striae)
- Acne and excessive sweating
Neurological & Psychiatric Effects
- Mood swings (euphoria, depression, anxiety, psychosis)
- Insomnia
- Increased intracranial pressure in children (pseudotumor cerebri)
Ophthalmic Effects
- Glaucoma (increased eye pressure, vision issues)
- Cataracts
Immunosuppressive Effects

- Reduced vaccine response
✔️ Oral Dosage (Tablets)
- Adults: 0.75 mg to 9 mg daily, divided into 2-4 doses.
- Children: 0.03 mg to 0.2 mg/kg of body weight daily, depending on the severity of the condition.
- Cushing’s Syndrome Screening:
- Short test: 1 mg dexamethasone at 11 p.m., with cortisol levels checked the next morning.
- Extended test: 0.5 mg every 6 hours for 48 hours, then 2 mg every 6 hours for another 48 hours, with urine collected for 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS) analysis.
✔️ Drug Interactions
Potential Interactions with Other Medications:
- Diuretics & Cardiac Glycosides: Increases the risk of potassium loss, which can enhance cardiac glycoside toxicity.
- Antidiabetic Medications: May increase blood sugar levels, necessitating higher doses of diabetes medications.
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.
- Anticoagulants: Can alter the effects of blood thinners, requiring dosage adjustments.
- Liver Enzyme Inducers (e.g., rifampicin, phenytoin, barbiturates, ephedrine, primidone): May reduce dexamethasone effectiveness.
- Salicylates (aspirin): Reducing the dexamethasone dose may increase the risk of salicylate toxicity.
- Antacids (magnesium trisilicate): Can impair dexamethasone absorption—doses should be spaced apart.
✔️ Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
- Category C drug: Use only if the benefits outweigh risks.
- May cause birth defects (cleft palate, low birth weight, growth restrictions).
- Women of reproductive age should use contraception during treatment and for at least one month after stopping the drug.
- Breastfeeding is not recommended while on dexamethasone, as it can pass into breast milk and affect infant growth.
✔️ Pediatric Patients
May slow growth in children—lowest effective dose should be used.
✔️ Decason 6 should not be used in patients with:
- Peptic ulcers (gastric or duodenal ulcers)
- Active systemic fungal infections
- Certain viral infections (e.g., herpes simplex, varicella, herpes genitalis, viral eye infections)
- Glaucoma
- Hypersensitivity to corticosteroids
✔️ Precautions & Warnings
- Lowest effective dose should be used to minimize risks.
- Taper off dosage gradually to avoid adrenal insufficiency.
- Caution in patients with:
- Heart failure, high blood pressure, or kidney disease (due to fluid retention risks).
- Diabetes mellitus (may require dose adjustments).
- Gastrointestinal disorders (ulcer risk).
- Osteoporosis (especially in postmenopausal women).
- Neuromuscular conditions (e.g., myasthenia gravis, epilepsy).
✔️ Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture.
- Keep all medications out of children’s reach.
