How much does a 12 mg dexamethasone injection cost in pregnancy (IM vs IV)?
Pricing for dexamethasone 12 mg injection varies by country, brand/manufacturer, pack size, and whether you’re buying a single vial or a hospital pack. In many settings, the same vial is used for both IM and IV administration, with the dose given based on the clinical protocol.
Because you asked specifically for “price,” I need one detail to give the correct figure: which country/currency are you in, and what pack size (e.g., 1 vial) are you looking for?
Is the “12 mg injection” the same product for IV and IM in pregnancy?
In clinical use, dexamethasone injections are dosed based on the prescribed strength per vial (e.g., 12 mg) and administered by the route ordered by the clinician. The route (IM vs IV) changes administration method, not the underlying drug concentration.
If you tell me your brand name and country (or a photo of the label), I can match the exact product strength and typical vial format.

What affects what you pay in a hospital or pharmacy?
Even for the same “12 mg dexamethasone injection,” the final cost can depend on:
- Whether it’s procured by a hospital (tender pricing) versus retail pharmacy
- Whether it’s an original brand or a generic
- Tax/dispensing fees and insurance coverage rules in your location
Quick check: what exact “12 mg injection” do you mean?
Reply with:
1) Country + currency (e.g., India INR, UK GBP, US USD)
