Background. Dexamethasone is a synthetic analogue of glucocorticoids, with a stronger activity than cortisol. Despite the benefits in treating some diseases, the incorrect administration can lead to occurrence of side effects, some of which are severe. Objective of the study. The aim was to enumerate what side effects dexamethasone can cause in case of improper use, such as overdose or taking at a late hour. Material and Methods. The information was selected from bibliographic references, articles and publications about the effects of dexamethasone from databases (PubMed, MedlinePlus etc.). Results. Most frequently, the side effects are caused by overdose. Considering that dexamethasone is a synthetic version of cortisol, those effects are associated with hypersecretion of the hormone: „moon face”, muscular weakness, easy bruising, swollen legs, hetero-sexualisation, hyperglycemia, heart diseases and others. Besides, cortisol is a stress hormone, which means that a high dose of dexamethasone can cause effects at the sympathetic nervous system: anxiety, hypertension, and tachycardia. Taking the medication at a late hour doesn’t affect the organism severely, but the person can suffer from insomnia. Conclusion. Incorrect administration of dexamethasone severely affects the human body. In order to prevent the effects, the patient must follow the drug use regimen. In addition, it is important to consult a specialist regarding the treatment. |
