Suman ji, Thanks for the query.
First thing is what is the need for giving Dexona(Dexamethazone) tablets in a diabetes patient. Because it is a very strong glucocorticoid that has strong blood glucose increasing action. Because of that diabetes control will be upset. Since no other details are given like age of the patient, HbA1c%, fasting & PP glucose levels, reason for giving the steroid what are the comorbid conditions patient has. So no further comments can be made. Thanks.

this medication is prescribed by the doctors if not as Dietician I suggest you don't take these medication without doctor suggestion. It's better get yourself assest and after evaluation dietician will tell you how much calorie, protein, and nutrients will you require.If you feel you can contact with me for personal guidance.

Yes they are steroids and yes they have harmful effects.. but in this condition to develop the babies fast enough it might have been prescribed....
My advise is to trust your doctor... but if you have doubts then consult another gynecologist with all your case details...

Hi lybrate-user. The injection will be good for your babies lungs, betamethasone is better, but depending on your gynaecologist, even dexamethasone is also effective. I don't know the details of your pregnancy, but with twins, inj will be more likely to be helpful than harmful. Hope you are not diabetic. All the best.
