A preservative (benzyl alcohol) which may be found in this product or in the liquid used to mix this product (diluent) can infrequently cause serious problems (sometimes death) if given by injection to an infant during the first months of life (neonatal period). The risk is greater with lower birth weight infants and is greater with increased amounts of benzyl alcohol. Symptoms include sudden gasping, low blood pressure, or a very slow heartbeat. Report these symptoms to the doctor immediately should they occur. If possible, a preservative-free product should be used when treating neonates. Caution is advised when using Dexone in children because it can affect their growth (suppress growth hormone). Dexone should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Dexone passes into breast milk and has had undesirable effects on nursing infants. Consult your doctor before breast- feeding.

Do not double the dose to catch up.
