Dexamethasone tablets from 0.5 mg to 8 mg, an oral corticosteroid for inflammatory, allergic, oncology and tapering regimens, for importers, distributors, hospitals and tender buyers.

Product Description:

Dexamethasone tablets give the same potent glucocorticoid in an oral form for home and ward use. It is well absorbed and long acting, so one daily dose usually suffices. Most tablets contain dexamethasone base rather than a salt such as sodium phosphate, so confirm which you are buying. The range runs from 0.5 mg to 8 mg. Low strengths suit maintenance and tapering, while 4 mg, 6 mg and 8 mg cut the tablet count in high-dose regimens.

Tablets are used in many inflammatory, allergic and autoimmune conditions, for cerebral oedema, in chemotherapy antiemetic and myeloma regimens, for croup as a single dose in children, and in endocrine testing. WHO lists 6 mg daily for severe COVID-19. The dose is usually taken in the morning with food. After more than a few weeks it should be tapered, not stopped suddenly, because of adrenal suppression. Pharmacists watch blood glucose, blood pressure, mood, bone health and infection, and long courses often come with a steroid card.

Sourcing notes. Dexamethasone tablets are prescription-only in nearly all markets and registered through a CTD or ACTD dossier with bioequivalence data, or a biowaiver where allowed. Low-dose tablets need tight content uniformity, so ask for those results with assay and dissolution. Score lines matter for tapering. Ask for zone IVb data and the blister material for hot humid markets. Request a CoA for every batch, the GMP certificate, a CoPP and the API DMF or CEP reference. In your enquiry, list each strength, confirm base or salt, and state blister count and pack size.
