Dexamethazone is a corticosteroid prescribed to treat symptoms of many conditions including coelitis, Asthma and tumors. It has become popular among high-altitude athletes and hobbyists because it can lessen some of the effects of altitude sickness and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE). When taken beforehand as prophylaxis it can help climbers ascend quickly. When used to excess it has extremely dangerous side effects. Misuse can result in sypmtoms including adrenal shutdown, gastrointestinal bleeding and death.
