The glucogenic effects of Dexium™, when administered intramuscularly, are generally noted within the first 6 to 12 hours. When Dexium™ is used intravenously, the effects may be noted sooner. Blood sugar levels rise normal levels rapidly and generally rise to above normal levels within 12 to 24 hours. Acetone bodies are reduced to normal concentrations usually within 24 hours. The physical attitude of animals treated with Dexium™ brightens and appetite improves, usually within 12 hours.

Veterinary clinical evidence indicates dexamethasone has approximately 20 times the anti-inflammatory activity of prednisolone and 70 to 80 times that of hydrocortisone. Thymus involution studies show dexamethasone possesses 25 times the activity of prednisolone. In reference to mineralocorticoid activity, dexamethasone does not cause significant sodium or water retention. Metabolic balance studies show that animals on controlled and limited protein intake will exhibit nitrogen losses on exceedingly high dosages. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'\"\u003ePrecautions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'\"\u003eAnimals receiving Dexium™ should be under close observation.
