What Is a Dexamethasone Injection?
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that works quickly to reduce inflammation and calm an overactive immune response. It’s widely used in both emergency and outpatient settings for its fast, reliable anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea effects.
How Dexamethasone Can Help
A Dexamethasone injection at Flow Wellness is commonly used to support:
- Migraine relief, especially alongside Toradol or IV fluids
- Nausea associated with migraines or acute illness
- Inflammation from allergic reactions
- Inflammatory flare-ups affecting joints or soft tissue
- General inflammation support as part of a broader treatment plan
It’s frequently paired with our Migraine Relief IV for patients who need both inflammation control and nausea relief in one visit.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your visit starts with a quick consultation so your provider can confirm Dexamethasone is appropriate for your symptoms and health history. The injection itself takes just a minute or two. Most visits, start to finish, take about 15 minutes — or a bit longer if it’s combined with an IV.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dexamethasone?
Dexamethasone is generally well tolerated, but it isn’t right for every situation. Your provider will review your health history first, since corticosteroids require extra caution for patients with uncontrolled diabetes, active infections, or certain other conditions. This is why every Dexamethasone visit begins with a clinical consultation rather than a walk-up injection.
Pricing
Single injections at Flow Wellness are $49. Dexamethasone is also available as an add-on to IV therapy when clinically appropriate.
