| Hello, I am very easily affected by allergies. I have allergic dermatitis, and I did not know is that I have allergy on bees sting. That really frightened me. When it happened for the first time, hand started swelling and I experienced difficulty with breathing. I was given dexamethasone. In order to prevent next possible attacks I would like to know what is a dosage of dexamethasone? |

| Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid with long term effects and is used for dealing with many various conditions, including allergies. The applications are different, and so are the doses, depending on that application. It could be taken orally, parenteral and locally. Doses in injections are usually 4mg. Just be careful if you want to inject the drug yourself. |
