Hi,
It is an anti-inflammatory. This is what I found:
Dexamethasone
Dexamethasone is used in the treatment of myositis, arthritis, dermatitis, allergies and supportive therapy in all animals. Can be used to treat various cancers, respiratory diseases, liver disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, and skin disorders.
An effective glucocorticoid, a hormone related to cortisone. It suppresses the immune system, reduces inflammation throughout the body, but effects on nervous system are limited.
Drug Side Effects:
May retard growth to young animals. Can cause dull coat, weight gain, panting, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated liver enzymes, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal ulcers, depression, lethargy and viciousness.
