♦ Dexamethasone (aka: Dex)
♦ Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (aka: Azuim),
♦ Prednisolone sodium succinate (aka: Solu-Delta Cortef)
♦ Methylprednisolone sodium succinate (aka: Solu-Medrol).


The sodium succinates (or phosphates) are salts ... that assist with delivery and assimilation of the drugs.

They are preferable for "immediate delivery" to reverse a life-or-death situation hanging by a string, but they are removed from the system more readily.
