Dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection 4 mg/mL in ampoules or vials for IV, IM and local use, for hospital buyers, tender buyers and distributors sourcing a corticosteroid for acute and critical care.

Product Description:

Dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection is a water-soluble ester of dexamethasone, a potent long-acting glucocorticoid with almost no mineralocorticoid effect. It acts on glucocorticoid receptors to switch off inflammatory and immune genes. The injection is 4 mg/mL for intravenous, intramuscular or local use into joints and soft tissue. Labels express strength either as dexamethasone phosphate or as dexamethasone base, which affects tender comparisons. The IV route gives a fast effect when a patient cannot swallow.

Hospitals use it for cerebral oedema linked to tumours, as an adjunct after adrenaline in anaphylaxis, for acute flares of inflammatory disease, and against nausea with chemotherapy or surgery. WHO guidance lists dexamethasone for antenatal use in preterm birth to aid fetal lung maturity, and for severe or critical COVID-19. A rapid IV bolus can cause brief perineal burning or itching. Key precautions are high blood glucose, infection risk, fluid retention and mood change. Live vaccines are avoided during high-dose therapy.

Sourcing notes. The injection is prescription-only and common on essential medicine tenders, usually needing a CTD or ACTD dossier and a CoPP. Confirm the label strength expression, fill (1 mL or 2 mL), ampoule or vial, and single or multi-dose. Ask for the excipient list, since some products contain preservatives or sulfites. The solution is light-sensitive, so check carton protection and ask for zone IVb stability data. Request sterility and endotoxin results with each batch CoA, and a GMP certificate covering sterile production. In your enquiry, state strength expression, fill, container and quantity.
