The invention relates to the technical field of analytical chemical detection, in particular to a quick detection method of 
dexamethasone; comprising the steps of taking a sample to be detected adding 
hydrochloric acid solution, shaking, adding 
ethyl acetate, shaking, and centrifuging or standing to allow layering; taking supernate or upper solution, adding 
sodium hydroxide solution, shaking, and centrifuging or standing to allow layering; dropping 
sodium hydroxide solution to a white dropper plate, dropwise adding triphenyl 
tetrazolium chloride test solution, mixing well, dropwise adding 
test sample solution, and observing changes in color. The method of the invention is simple to perform and low in analytical cost; despite of the influence of 
related factors, the observation of solution color is more facilitated, the abstracting liquid, washing liquid, extracting liquid and detection agents used herein are highly specific, interfering substances are separated and removed by using 
dissolution differences of different substances three times in the abstracting, washing and extracting processes, the sensitivity of 
color reaction is improved, detection results accuracy is high, the 
color reaction is quick, phenomena are significant, and the method is suitable for quick 
field detection.
