Hello Dr. I am 35 weeks pregnant. Planning for c section at 36 weeks. So my Dr. advised to take 6 mg dexamethasone inj 4 doses 12 hours apart. But by mistake nurse has given 12 mg in the first dose and after 12 hours 6 mg given. So total dose 18 mg injected in one day. Is there any side effect with this.
