What does it do?

Dexamethasone is a synthetic corticosteroid used to regulate inflammation and immune response. It is primarily included in medications to alleviate inflammatory diseases or allergic symptoms. The micronized form is created to reduce particle size for improved absorption in the body.

Dexamethasone inhibits the production of substances that cause inflammation in the body and modulates the activity of immune cells. This reduces inflammation and allergy symptoms while preventing tissue damage.
