Dexacan Injection contains Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate, a potent corticosteroid used to manage various inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune conditions. It is typically administered in hospital settings under medical supervision. ________________________________________ 🩺 Medical Uses Dexacan Injection is indicated for: • Adrenal Insufficiency: To replace deficient corticosteroids in conditions like Addison's disease. • Severe Allergic Reactions: Including anaphylaxis and angioedema. • Autoimmune Disorders: Such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis. • Inflammatory Conditions: Including ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and certain skin disorders. • Neurological Conditions: For managing cerebral edema and certain types of meningitis. • Endocrine Disorders: As a diagnostic tool in Cushing's syndrome. • Shock Management: Particularly in cases of septic shock, often as an adjunct to other therapies. It works by suppressing inflammation and modulating the immune response. This is achieved through its glucocorticoid activity, which reduces the production of inflammatory mediators. ________________________________________ ⚙️ Dosage and Administration Dexacan Injection is administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM) by healthcare professionals. The dosage varies based on the specific condition being treated and the patient's response. For instance, in cerebral edema, an initial IV dose of 10 mg may be followed by 4 mg IM every six hours. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Precautions and Contraindications Before using Dexacan Injection, inform your healthcare provider if you have: • Allergies to dexamethasone or other corticosteroids. • Infections, as corticosteroids can suppress the immune system. • Gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcers. • Cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. • Diabetes, as corticosteroids can affect blood sugar levels. • Osteoporosis or other bone disorders. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare provider. ________________________________________ 💊 Side Effects Common side effects may include: • Increased appetite and weight gain. • Fluid retention and swelling. • Elevated blood pressure. • Mood swings or psychological effects. • Gastrointestinal discomfort. Long-term use can lead to more serious effects, such as osteoporosis, cataracts, and increased susceptibility to infections. ________________________________________

DEXAPAR Dexamethasone Eye Drops contain Dexamethasone, a potent corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation in the eyes. These eye drops are typically used to manage a variety of eye conditions involving inflammation. Here’s a breakdown of the primary uses: 🔹 Primary Uses Treatment of Inflammatory Eye Conditions Dexamethasone is commonly used to treat eye conditions where inflammation is present, such as: Uveitis (inflammation of the uvea, which is part of the eye) Iritis (inflammation of the iris) Conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) Keratitis (inflammation of the cornea) Post-Surgical Inflammation Used after eye surgeries, such as cataract surgery, to control post-operative inflammation and prevent discomfort. Allergic Conjunctivitis May be used for severe allergic reactions causing inflammation in the eye (though often replaced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or other treatments). 🔹 How It Works Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that works by suppressing the immune system to decrease inflammation. It inhibits the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins and cytokines. ⚠️ Common Side Effects Eye irritation or stinging upon application Increased intraocular pressure (which can lead to glaucoma with long-term use) Blurred vision (temporary) Cataract formation (with prolonged use) Eye infections: Prolonged use may increase the risk of developing eye infections. 🔹 Usage Tips Dosage: Typically, 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s), 2 to 4 times a day, depending on the severity of inflammation. Application: Wash your hands before using the eye drops. Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid to form a pocket. Drop the medication into the pocket and close your eye gently. Blink to spread the medication evenly. If using multiple eye medications, wait about 5 minutes between applying each. Contact Lenses: Remove contact lenses before applying the drops and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them. 🔹 Precautions Glaucoma and Cataracts: Prolonged use of Dexamethasone can increase the risk of glaucoma and cataracts, especially in people with a history of these conditions. Infections: Dexamethasone may mask signs of infection. Be cautious if you have an active eye infection. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as corticosteroids may not be suitable in these situations. Long-Term Use: Prolonged or repeated use of corticosteroid eye drops requires careful monitoring by an eye care professional. 🔹 Long-Term Use Dexamethasone Eye Drops are generally not recommended for long-term use unless prescribed by a doctor because of the risk of increasing intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and other complications like cataract formation.

Loto-M belongs to a group of medications called ‘Antibiotics and Corticosteroids’ used to treat bacterial eye infections or eye discomfort. It is also used in patients who have undergone eye surgeries. It is used to treat eye inflammation caused by allergies, shingles, iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (iris)), uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye (uvea)), eye injury, radiation, and chemical burns. A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria invade any part of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, including the cornea (clear front surface of the eye) and the conjunctiva (thin membrane lining the outer eye and inner eyelids). Loto-M is used to prevent or treat only bacterial eye infections. It does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungus.
