SCPA Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 New family med PA here. One of the docs in the practice routinely combines 80mg of depomedrol with 10 mg of dexamethasone and a few cc's of lido for a shoulder or knee injection. I've never seen this in the literature and always stick to 40 mg of depomedrol + lido in a knee or shoulder. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted July 28, 2015 Administrator Share Posted July 28, 2015 I've never combined two different types of injectable steroid. I do use both lidocaine and marcaine in the same injection pretty regularly, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2015 I usually use kenalog + marcaine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawg1986 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I use depomendrol + lidocaine 2% plain on large joints because supposedly marcaine is more cytotoxic to chondrocytes Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
