I was recently prescribed Dexamethasone Sod Phos Inj, 10 ml for severe allergies. I've read that it's a powerful anti-inflammatory, but I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. I've heard it can cause some serious issues like Cushing's syndrome and high blood sugar. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? What were your experiences like? I want to know what I should look out for and any tips for managing side effects would be great. I'm also curious about how quickly it works and how long the effects last. I'm hoping it helps with my allergies, but I want to be prepared for any potential downsides as well. Thanks in advance for any insights!
