Description

Dexamethasone sodium metasulfobenzoate is a steroid that modulates the immune system. It is used to treat bacterial infections and as an anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, post-operative inflammation, and other conditions. Dexamethasone inhibits the production of cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), by white blood cells. The molecule also has antibacterial properties and has been shown to be effective against HIV infection. Dexamethasone may be administered orally or intravenously. The drug's pharmacodynamics are dose dependent, with higher doses being associated with greater modulation of the immune response. The recommended dosage for adults is 0.6 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 6 hours for 7 days; for children it is 0.2 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 6 hours for 14 days.
