Could there be any harmful effects or risks for me or my baby after I received a Dexona injection that expired 10 months ago, given that I am 26 weeks pregnant?

Asked by Female, 29 · 5 days ago

Receiving an expired Dexona (dexamethasone) injection is very unlikely to cause direct harm or toxic effects to you or your baby. Typically, when a medication like dexamethasone expires, it simply loses its strength and may not be as effective. Since this injection is often given at 26 weeks to help support your baby's development, the main concern is ensuring you received the proper active dose. I highly recommend contacting your obstetrician as soon as possible. They can evaluate if you need a repeat dose of fresh medication and monitor your progress.
