title: How many "moles" of glucocorticoids?
abstract: The entries for i.v. dexamethasone in the German National Formulary are inconsistent and can lead to differences of about 25% in calculating the dosage on a molar basis. The authors recommend a standardization of declarations of the contents of i.v. glucocorticoids.
