Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of substances that trigger allergic and inflammatory actions. Dexamethasone is used to modify the body's immune response. At lower doses it helps to reduce inflammation by decreasing the activity of certain cells and chemicals produced by the body that cause inflammation. At higher doses, it can suppress the immune system by decreasing the number of cells necessary for a proper immune response. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: black; margin: 0px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eIs there a generic equivalent available?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: black; margin: 0px\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eThis medication is a generic medication. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: black; margin: 0px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eHow is it given?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: black; margin: 0px\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eDexamethasone is an oral tablet, given by mouth. It may be given with food to avoid stomach upset. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulties giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. Dosage depends on the product used. Your veterinarian may recommend starting at a higher dose and then reducing the dose every few days to a week. If on long-term therapy, do not discontinue the drug abruptly. The dose needs to be tapered off over several days to weeks to allow the body to start making its own cortisol again. This medication should only be given to the pet for which it was prescribed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: black; margin: 0px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eAlways follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian.
