When your body is injured or under attack from infections or diseases, it produces inflammation as a defense mechanism. This inflammation can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort. Decadron steps in to suppress this inflammation, providing relief from these symptoms. 2) Immune System Suppression: Decadron also suppresses the activity of the immune system. In certain conditions, such as autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, or in organ transplant recipients where the immune system needs to be suppressed to prevent rejection, Decadron helps in controlling the immune response. 3) Allergy and Asthma: Decadron can be used to treat severe allergies or asthma attacks by reducing inflammation in the airways, making breathing easier. 4) Cancer Treatment: In cancer treatment, Decadron is sometimes used to reduce inflammation and swelling caused by tumors, as well as to counteract side effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
