How long can steroids be used intravenously?
Is it possible to take 4 mg of dexamethasone every day in the form of an intravenous infusion permanently or despite this low dose, but over time there would be negative side effects? Dexamethasone tablets do not work and the infusion makes a person who can not walk due to bone pain I begin to feel like a completely healthy person. Other medications do not work and without the infusion I am completely disabled. Thank you for your reply.

It has not been specified how long parenteral dexamethasone can be used. Due to the fact that long-term corticosteroid therapy, even when administered at low doses, is associated with the risk of serious side effects, it is recommended to use the lowest possible doses for the shortest possible time. When determining the length of therapy, the doctor takes into account many factors, m.in current state of health, medical history, existence or absence of contraindications, the body's previous response to the drug. In the case of parenteral administration of steroids, each time the attending physician decides on the length of treatment and the method of dosing individually. This issue should be discussed with the attending physician, informing him that the use of the drug allows you to function on a daily basis. The doctor, analyzing the factors mentioned above, will be able to decide whether the benefits of long-term therapy in your case outweigh the possible risks. Perhaps your doctor will be able to suggest an effective alternative to your current treatment.
