Article Synopsis
- Dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid drug, can contaminate water and sediments from sewage treatment plants, posing risks to aquatic life.
- Fish exposed to varying doses of dexamethasone showed significant declines in several blood indices and increases in liver and kidney functions, indicating harmful effects post-exposure.
- Even after a recovery period, many blood, biochemical, and immune markers in the fish remained elevated, suggesting long-term detrimental impacts of dexamethasone exposure.
