Dexamethasone was intended to treat organ system inflammation. The drug
is a steroid medicine and dexamethasone is sometimes given to premature
infants because it was thought that the dexamethasone could prevent
chronic lung disease. It was later found that instead of helping
premature infants, dexamethasone wears through intestinal tract lining.
The dexamethasone side effects found to occur are serious conditions.
Dexamethasone is also linked to adverse effects such as ulcers.
When dexamethasone is used for chronic treatment, many dexamethasone
side effects can occur because of the adrenal suppression it leads
to.
Since adrenal glands produce the body’s necessary hormones
and some steroids, dexamethasone can interfere with this process,
inhibiting children’s growth. Dexamethasone suppresses the
body’s inflammatory response and often allows infection to
occur as a result.
Side effects of dexamethasone can be very dangerous and serious.
Initially given to premature infants, side effects of dexamethasone
were serious, causing it to wear through the intestinal tract lining
instead of the dexamethasone helping to prevent chronic lung disease.
Other serious side effects of dexamethasone are the development
of ulcers.
Common side effects of dexamethasone include depression, hypertension,
nausea, acne, bone pain, muscle wasting, and anorexia. The side
effects of dexamethasone also include risks of developing infection
since dexamethasone suppresses the inflammatory response and make
it more difficult for a patient’s body to fight off any infection.
