About Product
Dexamethasone 3.3 mg/ml Injection

• shock caused by infection or severe tuberculosis (also with anti-infective treatments e.g. antibiotics)
• raised pressure in the skull caused by tumors or infantile spasms
• Sometimes, the injection is given into the painful area itself e.g. inflammation of the joints (rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis)
Do not use dexamethasone if:
• are sensitive or allergic to Dexamethasone or any of the other ingredients in this injection

The worst pharmacist
Mohammed.a year ago
There is a pharmacy in al majmaah on General street. The pharmacist refused to give me Dexamethasone. Al dawaa is the best pharmacy. Al Nahdi should change all the pharmacists.
