Has anyone used this medication to quell pain. We've only been using it for a week but it seems to be working, it says it may take up to 5 days to get the benefits.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated from people who have used this medicine.
Thank you everyone,
Regards,
Graeme.
Hi Graeme
I don't have any experience with this drug but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.
While you're waiting for replies if you type 'dexamethasone' into this group's search bar you'll find a number of posts which mention it. You could have a read through some of them and respond to any of the more recent posters if you think they might be able to help you further. The most recent post which mentioned this drug was from Weston2020 so I'm 'tagging' them into my reply to you in the hope that they can pop on and tell you about their experiences.

Hi latchbrook,
I did another post titled Dexamethasone 2.
I'm happy to say I had a really good reply that answered my question perfectly.
It confirmed everything I was hoping to find.
But I greatly appreciate that you noticed I hadn't had a reply to my original post, & thank you so much for giving me connections to chase up.
Best wishes,
Graeme.
