Dexamed

Dexamed is a veterinary corticosteroid injection containing dexamethasone sodium phosphate, used in horses under veterinary direction for the short-term management of inflammatory and allergic conditions. It may also be used for selected musculoskeletal inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, and tenosynovitis.assets.hpra+2

What it does

Dexamed contains dexamethasone, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid that suppresses inflammation and modulates immune responses. In horses, it is used for inflammatory and allergic conditions, including dermatitis and selected joint-related inflammatory disorders.assets.hpra+2

Because it is a systemic corticosteroid, Dexamed can have significant effects throughout the body and should only be used when a veterinarian determines that corticosteroid therapy is appropriate.assets.hpra+1

Product details

Typical veterinary use

Veterinary product information for comparable dexamethasone injections lists equine dosing of approximately 0.06 mg/kg body weight, equivalent to 1.5 mL per 50 kg for a 2 mg/mL product. Another dexamethasone injection label lists an equine range of 2.5–5 mg intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the formulation and indication.vmd.defra.gov+3

The correct Dexamed dose, route, frequency, and treatment duration must be determined by your veterinarian based on your horse’s condition, weight, and response to treatment.
