Socialism is an economic system, used to some degree by democracies, in which the most important means of production, as well as the means of distribution of goods and services, are owned by the state and managed for the welfare of society as a whole.
Dexamethasone is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid. These medicines are man-made versions of the corticosteroid hormones, cortisol and aldosterone, produced naturally by the adrenal glands.
The initial dexamethasone dosage varies from 0.75 to 9 mg a day depending on the disease. In pediatric patients, the range of initial doses is 0.02 to 0.3 mg/kg/day in three or four divided doses. If after long-term therapy the drug is to be stopped, it is recommended that it be withdrawn gradually.
