Generic Name: Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate

Brand Name: Mohsidex

Strength: 4mg/mL (8mg/2mL)

Form: Solution for Injection (I.M/I.V)

Manufacturer: Mercury Laboratories Ltd.

Imported and Distributed by: Philrx Pharma Inc.

Classification: Corticosteroid Hormones

Indication/Uses: Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid with mainly glucocorticoid activity; 750ug of dexamethasone is equivalent in anti-inflammatory activity to about 5mg of predinisolone. It has been used, either in the form of free alcohol or in one of the esterified forms, in the treatment of conditions for which corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenocortical insufficiency for which hydrocortisone with supplementary fludrocortisone is preferred. Its lack of mineralocorticoid properties makes dexamethasone particularly suitable for treating conditions where water retention would be a disadvantage.
