Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Micronized dexamethasone provides enhanced dissolution and bioavailability of the classic high‑potency glucocorticoid. It exerts strong GR‑mediated anti‑inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti‑proliferative effects by suppressing cytokines, prostaglandins and immune‑cell trafficking.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in inflammation‑pathway studies, GR‑activation assays, immunosuppression modelling, and steroid‑bioavailability research.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include adrenal suppression, hyperglycemia, osteoporosis, infection risk, mood disturbances and muscle wasting. Handle with systemic‑glucocorticoid precautions.
