dbhoneybee1968@yahoo.com is on a distinguished road
Are the drugs Decadron & Solu-medrol the same thing
Would they ever be mixed and given as a single injection?

Decadron is dexamethasone taken orally, while Solu-Medrol is methylprednisolone which is in injectable form. Since the 2 drugs differ in their mode of delivery, they cannot be combined in 1 injection.
