PUTRAJAYA: Kementerian Kesihatan menyeru orang ramai berwaspada supaya tidak menyalahgunakan atau mengambil ubat dexamethasone tanpa preskripsi doktor.
Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah menjelaskan dexamethasone sejenis steroid yang digunakan untuk mengurangkan radang dalam pelbagai penyakit. Pemerhatian awal mendapati ubat terbabit dapat mengurangkan risiko kematian kepada pesakit Covid-19, terutamanya yang mempunyai gejala pernafasan yang serius dan bagi mereka yang memerlukan bantuan pernafasan.
“Namun begitu, ujian klinikal berkenaan juga mendapati ubat ini tidak membantu dalam rawatan pesakit Covid-19 yang hanya mempunyai gejala ringan atau pesakit yang tidak memerlukan bantuan pernafasan. “Ubat ini juga mempunyai kesan sampingan dan perlu diimbangi dengan keperluan penggunaan ubat ini bagi penyakit tertentu,” katanya pada sidang media hari ini.
