Dexamethasone ampule got broken whe i try to open it..is it still safe to administer it im?

Maybe not safe: If there was any break in the sterile procedure of drawing up the medication into a syringe, then it is no longer safe to use. It is best to get another ampule, unless one is positive that the medication is still sterile.
