What is Dexamethasone?

It is also used as a test for an adrenal gland disorder (Cushing's syndrome).This prescription drug is a member of the glucocorticoid drug class. Glucocorticoids are a type of corticosteroid hormone that is very effective at reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. Inflammation is the way our immune system responds to harmful substances and trauma and is part of our healing process. However, if the usual control mechanisms that turn the process of inflammation off aren't functioning properly and it continues unabated, our tissues can become damaged. Continued inflammation is associated with many chronic conditions including diabetes, obesity, cancer, depression, and heart disease. Glucocorticoids are secreted naturally by our adrenal glands in response to stress and have numerous effects on our bodies that are essential for life. Glucocorticoid drugs are synthetic versions of these hormones.
