Prescribed dexamethasone for 6 days for concussion. read all bad about that drug for concussion. very skeptical. please advise.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong drug: Dexamethasone is simply not a drug we use to treat concussion. It must have been prescribed for something else. However, a short course of it should not be too risky even though it can have side effects.
