Dexamethasone is a potent prescription corticosteroid (steroid) used to treat a wide range of inflammatory, allergic, autoimmune, and oncologic conditions. It is one of the most powerful synthetic glucocorticoids available — approximately 25 times more potent than naturally occurring cortisol — and can be given orally, by injection, or topically. Dexamethasone is used for severe allergic reactions, asthma exacerbations, inflammatory arthritis, brain swelling (cerebral edema), certain cancers, croup in children, and as supportive care in serious infections. It gained widespread recognition during COVID-19 for reducing mortality in hospitalized patients requiring oxygen. A licensed provider can prescribe oral dexamethasone through Rx.com for appropriate inflammatory or allergic conditions.
