If someone has had an injection of dexaven, does it mean that they are not allergic to pabi dexamethazone? I have to take 1mg pabi dexamethasone but I'm afraid and dexaven injection I had more than once and I had no side effects. Do these two drugs have to do with each other?

Dexaven is a solution for injection that contains dexamethasone phosphate as a sodium salt, while Pabi-Dexamethasone is an oral tablet containing dexamethasone (that is, these medicines contain the same active substance). If there is no allergic reaction when dexamethasone is administered intravenously or intramuscularly, it is likely that it will not occur with oral administration. In the context of side effects, it is not possible to predict whether they will occur in a given patient.
