A member asked:
Are the drugs decadron (dexamethasone) & solu-medrol the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not quite: They are similar but different chemical compounds. Both are glucocorticoid steroids. Solu-medrol is methyprednisolone. Decadron is dexamethasone. They have different dosing requirements.
