Dexatab Tablet 0.5 mg contains Dexamethasone, a potent synthetic corticosteroid known for its anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and anti-allergic properties. It is widely used to treat conditions caused by inflammation, immune system overactivity, and severe allergic reactions.

Dexamethasone works by mimicking natural corticosteroids produced by the adrenal glands, reducing inflammation, suppressing abnormal immune responses, and stabilizing cellular function. The oral tablet form provides convenient dosing for chronic conditions or ongoing management of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
