Intramuscular (IM): An intramuscular (IM) medication is given by needle into the muscle. This is as opposed to a medication that is given by a needle, for example, into the skin (intradermal) or just below the skin (subcutaneous) or into a vein (intravenous).
Chemotherapy given by intramuscular injection is absorbed into the blood more slowly than IV chemotherapy. Because of this, the effects of IM chemotherapy may last longer than chemotherapy given intravenously.
Any medications administered by intramuscular injection.

The dexamethasone suppression test (DST), also known as the Liddle test, is used in the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome. In this test, a patient is given a dose of dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid, and then their blood cortisol levels are measured to see if they are suppressed as expected. Lack of suppression indicates hypercortisolism, which is indicative of Cushing's syndrome.
Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid medication that is usually found as a salt, such as dexamethasone sodium phosphate. In this form, dexamethasone is typically a negative ion due to the presence of the phosphate group.
Dexamethasone acetate is the glucocorticoid dexamethasone combined with acetic acid, making it a stable and long-acting corticosteroid suspension for injection. Dexamethasone sodium phosphate, on the other hand, is a water-soluble form of dexamethasone that can be administered intravenously or by injection for rapid systemic effects. The main difference lies in their solubility and route of administration.
Dexamethasone is used in treatment of pyogenic meningitis in adults. Dexamethasone is not indicated for children with pyogenic meningitis if the symptoms are advanced.
