Got this prescribed for a BRUTAL sore throat

[@trafficjon400]

1 injection of Dexamethisone 5 years ago for poison ivy. Today i still wake with shing depression of horror taking hours for my adrenal glands to work correctly. the first 2 years of the horrid Steroid phsycossis you would not wish on the devil him self. Virtigo easy broozing like an elderley person i was a healthy person and now a waking suicidal uslees person who lost freinds family understanding . Many i know are still suffering from wht Steroids none approved from FDA did to thier DNA . You better have very strong immune system and DNA that will take the strong hold of this and i know you won't want to go through this. the first 2 weeks after injection was some confusion weakness and bumping my arem easly broozed and hurt as i wqas shocked in suprised. 5 years now and still on medications to keep my ssri adrenals up but don't work much any more and running out of alternatives that many only consider later of one does not want.

[@trafficjon400]

If your healthy and care about you i warn you fair . look up the suffering from this satans little helper. look up but many taken down for the reason they still push this money maker. i hate to God i have to tell this but the destruction has taken its course ad i just feel faint.

[@trafficjon400]

Look up the weaker steroid Prednisone satans little helper with suffering induced patients with ones they knew who commited suicide from taking this poison. i am just one who went through this and trying to keep my self alive for any alternatives running out.

Is Dexamethasone good for stomach ulcers?

As far as I know, Dexamethasone can worsen stomach ulcers. I would recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice as these videos are meant only for educational purposes!

Is it not used for lung inflammation in Covid cases too?

@@johnhurd3257 any undesirable side effects from Dexa?

[@johnhurd3257]

I believe it mainly temporarily stops our immune system overreaction response to covid. I guess it helps the lungs too. I used the HP nebulizer protocol to stop my constant covid cough. The dexamethasdone relived the overall dizziness and weakness symptoms of the rona imo.

[@johnhurd3257]

@@bryanhauschild4376 not that I'm aware of. The daily dose is very low..something like 5mgs a day right after dinner for 6 days. I started feeling better on the 4th day. So it's not taken long enough to do anything more than stop the annoying covid storm. But you can't take before u have a fever and feel the inflammation. This is a rule I guess. That's why they don't prescribed it unless you are feeling the bad symptoms for a few days imo. But I can it works great for me if or when I catch it.:)

Definitely let your doctor know if you are experiencing any side effects. Daily use of sunscreen is sometimes recommended, as well as using skin moisturizers.

[@NurseRyan]

According to bccancer.bc.ca - for nausea, "Dexamethasone is usually taken about 30 minutes before receiving chemotherapy. It may be continued every 12 hours after chemotherapy for a certain period of time. The exact dose and how often you take it will be determined by your doctor." Dexamethasone is also "used to prevent allergic reactions" with some chemotherapy drugs. Hope that helps!

hy i could like to know the same side effect happens to preterms babies or only in adlut??

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, some quick research brought me to two articles. The first: Postnatal dexamethasone, respiratory and neurodevelopmental outcomes at two years in babies born extremely preterm (2017), stated "Postnatal dexamethasone use in extremely preterm infants is associated with increased risks of respiratory hospital admissions and neurodevelopmental impairment." The second: The effectiveness and side effects of dexamethasone in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (1993), has a table titled "Complications of corticosteroid treatment" (Table 2) on page 4. This table includes many of the side effects of dexamethasone reported in preterm infants. However, this is just quick research and I have no experience with preterm babies. I always recommend speaking to your primary healthcare provider for any actual medical advice, as these videos are only for educational purposes. Hope that helps!

Hi ..I'm writing for a really important question ..Dexamethasone can kill people..i took 6ampoules of 6mg .thanks you for answering me.

[@NurseRyan]

If you suspect that you have taken too much Dexamethasone, you should seek medical attention immediately or contact poison control. Corticosteroid overdose can be life-threatening. That being said, 36mg does sound like an acceptable dose, depending on the reason you have taken it for. But again, for any actual medical advice, please contact your primary healthcare provider or pharmacist for the best information, as these videos are meant for educational purposes only.

I hv witnessed that some under weight people are using it to gain weight and as they wish they gained weight. What's ur view on it?tnx.

[@NurseRyan]

Steroids like Dexamethasone are definitely known to cause weight gain and fluid buildup as a side effect. I have not personally seen it being taken specifically to gain weight, but I don't have much experience with it. I would always recommend speaking to your primary healthcare provider for any actual medical advice!

[@trafficjon400]

FDA Never approved steroids because of the millions of shocking complaints of death ans suicides do to ADRENAL SHUT DOWN . ADRENAL CRISSIS. Who in thir wright mind would want STEROID INDUCED CUSHINGS DECIESCE. Or steroid induced ostioporosis and other induced attacks on there own organs including much needed brain fat.

[@Shay3356]

I’ve been using the eye drops for five years. I’m soo angry at how horrific this med is.

[@NurseRyan]

I'm sorry if you had a bad experience with this drug. It can be very beneficial for some people, but the side effects can also be very negative for others.

[@jamiebarley4098]

I hate this stuff. It makes me hurt so badly I was put on morphine. I gained 12 pounds in 4 days. I started losing my hair and over time developed steroid induced cataracts. My body is so swollen I'm having difficulty moving. Fighting infections while taking strong antibiotics is not very effective as steroids reduce your ability to fight infections on your own Theres got to be something better
