Flumex

Flumetasone is a glucocorticoid that is a chemical modification of prednisolone, which has greater anti-inflammatory properties and is 15 times more potent than hydrocortisone. Flumethasone is recommended for use in rheumatic, allergic, dermatological and other conditions known to respond to anti-inflammatory corticosteroids. Parenteral administration is recommended using different routes depending on the type of animal being treated. Intravenous (IV) use of flumethasone may be indicated when a rapid route of administration is desired such as in cases of poisoning, shock, or shock-like conditions. Injectable flumethasone is available commercially as an alcohol-free steroid solution.

While flumethasone does not work as quickly as the corticosteroid phosphate and succinate esters (methylprednisolone sodium succinate, prednisolone sodium succinate, or dexamethasone sodium phosphate), it can be given either intramuscularly or intravenously and is useful for severe reactions such as insect sting or pollen hypersensitivity reactions. 4. Flumethasone is prescribed in Camel as indicated for: 1) Musculoskeletal conditions due to inflammation, where there are no permanent skeletal changes, such as bursitis, cartilage inflammation, osteoarthritis, and polymyositis. After treatment, an appropriate rest period should be scheduled to allow the normal return of function of the affected part. 2) Allergic conditions such as urticaria (hives) and insect bites

In dogs, flumethasone injections are prescribed  For: 1) Musculoskeletal conditions due to inflammation of the muscles or joints and accessory structures, where there are no permanent structural changes, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, intervertebral disc syndrome and polymyositis.
