DEXAMETHASONE
Dexamethasone is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, blood/hormone/immune system disorders, allergic reactions, certain skin and eye conditions, breathing problems, certain bowel disorders, and certain cancers. Recently it is being hailed as a wonder cure for Covid-19 after the study group conducting a clinical trial in United Kingdom. A drug named dexamethasone is the talk of the hour given recent claims that it can cut mortality in patients with severe forms of COVID-19 by a third. In COVID-19 patients, dexamethasone serves to dampen the body’s immune response when it becomes too aggressive to control by other means.
