Dexamethasone equivalent dose is?

  1. 0.75 mg

  2. 1 mg

  3. 1.25 mg

  4. 2 mg

The correct answer is: 0.75 mg

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid medication commonly used for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant effects. When comparing corticosteroids, it is important to understand their relative potencies. The equivalent dose of dexamethasone is 0.75 mg. This means that 0.75 mg of dexamethasone has the same potency as 1 mg of prednisone or prednisolone. Regarding the other options: - 1 mg, 1.25 mg, and 2 mg are incorrect as they do not represent the equivalent dose of dexamethasone.
