Properties:
Dexamethasone is a synthetic analogue of prednisolone, having more potent anti-inflammatory therapeutic action and diversified hormonal and metabolic effects.
Indications:
DEXADAD is indicated for:
Bovine Ketosis The gluconeogenic effects of dexamethasone, when administered DEAXAD intramuscularly, are generally noted within the first 6 to 12 hours. When DEXADAD is used intravenously, the effects may be noted sooner. Blood sugar levels rise to normal levels rapidly and generally rise to above normal levels within 12 to 24 hours. Acetone bodies are reduced to normal concentrations usually within 24 hours. The physical attitude of animals treated with DEXADAD brightens and appetite improves, usually within 12 hours. Milk production-which is suppressed as a compensatory reaction in this condition- begins to increase. In some instances, it may even surpass previous peaks. The recovery process usually takes from three to seven days.
Equine: DEXADAD is indicated for the treatment of acute musculoskeletal inflammations, such as bursitis, carpitis, osselets, tendonitis, myositis, and sprains.
In addition, dexamethasone may be used as supportive therapy in laminitis, and retained placenta provided that the primary cause is determined and corrected.
