👩‍⚕️ Expert Review – Dr. Naina Kapoor, MD (Endocrinology)

“Dexona 0.5mg offers controlled corticosteroid therapy for patients who need gentle modulation of inflammation or hormone support. At this dosage, the risk of side effects is much lower, though it still requires tapering guidance. I often recommend it in long-term endocrine care and mild autoimmunity cases.”
