“Romania is in shock.” Doctor Mihai Craiu announces that another myth has been shattered: “One of the favorite medication”

The well -known pediatrician Mihai Craiu announces that “a myth has been shattered in Romania”. This is one of the highly used medication in us, which has repeatedly warned that it is “a wrong practice. “

“Romania is in shock! Another myth has been shattered. The famous nebulization with dexamethasone from the vial of intravenous use, one of the favorite medication in us, in Romania (which I write periodically, here in SVC, but also in specialized articles or in presentations to national or international medical congresses for over a decade) is an incorrect practice, ” announced Dr. Mihai Craiu, a pediatric primary physician at the Institute for the Health of the Mother and Child “Alessandrescu-Rusescu” in Bucharest, on his Facebook page the Virtual Children’s Hospital.

The doctor says that these days participated in the conference “Virtual School on Nebulisation of Drugs for Treatment of Respiratory Infections and Disease ”where the most detailed aspects of nebulization techniques, nebulization devices, drugs that can be nebulized or studying for approval for human use (antibiotics, antivirals, monoclonal antibodies, mucobulators, enzymes, etc.) have been discussed.

“I asked the question: Elegantly formulated answers (no one raised the eyebrows or voice to ask ) were very clear – there is no evidence that it can be used safely and, as such, it is not recommended!”, Says Dr. Craiu.

As a result, the doctor insists on “Do not administer dexamethasone aerosols, regardless of who recresses this procedure ”.

“It is a wrong indication, with possible serious adverse effects and which has safe and validated treatment alternatives.”emphasizes the pediatrician Mihai Craiu.
