Why Decdan injections are used in pregnancy?
Patient: Good Evening Ma'am. . Ma'am I wanted to know why Decdan Injections are used in pregnancy? My wife is pregnant and its her 9th month.. 6th June is her due delivery date. Yesterday our concerned Dr told her to take decdan injection (2 doses, one after another in12 hrs).. Its her 1st pregnancy so I am a little tensed .. Please throw some light on this.. Thank you Doctor: Hello,Decdan contains dexamethasone as ingredient. It is given after 32 weeks of gestational age for better fetal lung maturity. It reduces respiratory distress problem during delivery or after that. It is quite safe.You have nothing to worry. Proceed follow up check up as per schedule after consultation with obstetrician.All the best.
