Commentary: dexamethasone is one of the miracle drugs that save lives in critical situations. I do not know of any other drug that works so effectively and quickly. How many lives have been saved by dexamethasone!
My answer: it does not work quickly. By the evening it will work. Or tomorrow. He saves lives in the hospital. They don't keep him at home.
Commentary: dexamethasone ambulance makes a child choking from bronchospasm. He acts very quickly, after half an hour the child is more or less normal.
My answer: it works in a few hours. You want to say that the ambulance does NOTHING except dexamethasone to a choking child?
Comment: I only did it for my child. It helped. The husband did only it. Husband is a surgeon. It helped too. I know, in the highlands, when pulmonary edema begins, they also do dexamethasone. Well, down quickly.
My answer is: did your child have pulmonary edema?
Comment: bronchospasm. Which developed on day 1 of ARVI. At least so to the question of what the ambulance answered with the child.
My answer: bronchospasm is never treated with ONLY dexamethasone. Because dexamethasone will work in a few hours at best. The drug acts through RNA synthesis. It takes hours. Sometimes days.
Commentary: It takes effect instantly. The attack relieves within 5 minutes.
My answer: he will relieve the attack in a few hours. No one in their right mind can treat an attack with dexamethasone alone. So the attack is relieved by something that is added to dexamethasone.
Commentary: what is different, the attack goes away in a matter of minutes, and you do not mislead people.
My answer: either something else is at work there, or your seizure is not really a seizure. There are no miracles in the world. It is likely that the effect of dexamethasone is only in your head. Or an attack only in the head.
Comment: and I am saving myself from allergic conjunctivitis with dexamethasone.
My answer: bad treatment. Cataracts develop rapidly from dexamethasone.
Comment: and in the hospital after surgery to replace the lens (cataract), they were buried in my eye.
My answer: I think that there will be no cataract in the artificial lens from dexamethasone.
Comment: I'm not going to argue with you, but it removes allergic reactions with intravenous administration instantly, slower after intramuscular administration.
My answer: he, by definition, cannot shoot anything with a needle. If you try to remove their allergic reaction, then sooner or later you will die from this reaction.
Commentary: you also gain weight very much from dexamethasone, inflates like a balloon.
My answer: it increases the appetite.
Comment: did not know about it. That is why my husband, who did not eat at all for a week, but only drank fruit drinks and water, and when they began to inject Dexamethasone, he "woke up a brutal appetite."
My comment: the classics of the genre. Some even stop vomiting.
Comment: and my daughter with allergies has prednisone always with her. It rarely comes in handy, mainly if you accidentally ate an unfamiliar product containing an allergen that is dangerous to her. This is how she tries to read the composition. But sometimes it’s a nuisance, and there’s no time to wait for a doctor when you have Quincke’s edema blocking your throat. And the horse dose of prednisone just saves. Then, of course, Suprastin eats.
My answer: a horse dose of prednisone saves after 8 hours. Adrenaline and suprastin act immediately. This is how people are dying of their own stupidity.
Commentary: we do not have epinephrine commercially available. Unfortunately. She has a job, and twice after corporate events she was introduced to her. But bringing it home is somehow not very good: the animals also need it.
My answer: if you do not have a medicine on hand that works, then do not expect an effect from a medicine that does not work. If there is no adrenaline rush, then neither a wooden hanger nor a tea strainer will help you. Simply because they are not designed for this.
Question: what will happen if dexamethasone is abruptly canceled?
My answer: if dexamethasone has been used for less than three weeks, then usually you can simply cancel. Withdrawal problems occur in people with asthma, tumors, hormonal problems, and autoimmune diseases.
Question: Can I try inhaled dexamethasone? Somehow the hormone helped me in the form of inhalation to remove wheezing from the first time.
My answer: if you inhale something that was not originally intended for inhalation, you can die from bronchospasm.
Commentary: but you contradict yourself. In the article you write "Dexamethasone hits sitting leukocytes like thatthat they fall off the wall of the vessel like ripe apples. It turns out that the number of leukocytes floating freely in the blood increases, "I confirm your the article described her situation, what yes there is, check which leukocytes need to donate blood, right. I write that I pierced, donated blood and there was an improvement, and now you are proving the opposite?
My answer is, what exactly do you consider "improvement"?
Comment: The leukocyte count increased.
My answer: and what is the use to you of the fact that leukocytes float in the blood in large numbers? When there are few leukocytes after chemotherapy, there is no one to fight the infection. When there are more leukocytes in the blood from dexamethasone, there is still no one to fight the infection, because dexamethasone does not allow leukocytes to work. It is very possible that it will get even worse.
Question: how long after dexamethasone will leukocytes in the blood be increased?
My answer: two weeks.
