Dexamethasone Intensol Reviews
For Inflammatory Conditions "Taking wean down dosage over six days after being treated for Quincy abscess of a tonsil. The drug relieved the pain so that I was able to talk and swallow again within 8 hours of injection IV. Out of the hospital by a day on the wean down pills, I notice former inflammation of bursitis of hip, knee, and golfer's elbow are being relieved also. The only adverse side effect I now notice is near insomnia, but I feel so well again and energetic. 3 days on the drug now and will end by taper down in 4 more days. 1.5 mg pills at first, two at a time, twice per day."
