Hi Rashid,

Xasten can cause weight gain as a side effect, but it’s not intended for that purpose. For safe weight gain, consider balanced nutrition and supplements like multivitamins and cod liver oil. Consult a healthcare provider before combining multiple supplements and medications.

Answered by the admin
Dear Olamide,
Thank you for your question.
There is no evidence to suggest that Xasten (Dexamethasone) causes fibroids. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, and their exact cause is not fully understood. Factors that may influence the development of fibroids include genetics, hormones (particularly estrogen and progesterone), and other growth factors.
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system in various conditions. It is not known to be associated with the development of fibroids.
If you have concerns about fibroids or the effects of any medication you are taking, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider.
