Dexamethazone inj in pregnancy
I have been prescribed Dexamethazone 6 mg 1 ml injection 4 dose , six hourly in my pregnancy
Is this a safe dosage and within limit or should I check with my doctor again?
I can't find 6 mg injections in local medicine shop ( although 4 mg and 8 mg are there),
Do they even exist or are they available?
