Hello,
Decdan contains dexamethasone as ingredient. It is given after 32 weeks of gestational age for better fetal lung maturity. It reduces respiratory distress problem during delivery or after that. It is quite safe.
You have nothing to worry. Proceed follow up check up as per schedule after consultation with obstetrician.
All the best.
