Yellow Square Duo 861

Yellow square tablet imprinted Duo 861 might be Roximeth (dexamethasone 0.5 mg).  It's a corticosteroid, a drug that has strong anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.

Tablet is described as a yellow square but it appears to be a diamond with duo over 861 since the imprint is upright if it's viewed as a diamond.  A score line separates the duo and 861.  Back is plain.

I don't know how to save the image from an old .pdf file but Solo5010 knows since he's done it before.

Here is an excerpt about dexamethasone from Mayo Clinic:

They are often used as part of the treatment for a number of different diseases, such as severe allergies or skin problems, asthma, or arthritis. Corticosteroids may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
