- Treatment of Autoimmune Conditions: It is used to manage autoimmune conditions where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues, leading to inflammation and damage (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis and lupus).

How Decdan Works
Decdan contains Dexamethasone, a type of steroid. It works by:
- Blocking Inflammatory Chemicals: Dexamethasone reduces the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins, thereby helping to reduce pain, swelling, and redness.
- Suppressing the Immune System: It helps suppress the immune system’s overreaction, which is helpful in managing autoimmune conditions.
- Reducing Allergic Reactions: By inhibiting the release of histamines and other inflammatory mediators, it helps manage symptoms of allergic reactions.
