Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection USP 4 mg/ml

Product Description

Betamethasone Injection belongs to a group of medicines called steroids. Their full name is corticosteroids.

These corticosteroids occur naturally in the body and help to maintain health and well being. Boosting your body with extra corticosteroids (such as Betamethasone Injection) is an effective way to treat various illnesses involving inflammation in the body. Betamethasone Injection reduces this inflammation, which could otherwise go on making your condition worse. You must use this medicine regularly to get maximum benefit from it.

Many different conditions can be improved by the use of corticosteroids, as they reduce inflammation (redness, tenderness, heat and swelling) in the body.

Betamethasone Injection is used:

• to treat asthma
• to treat severe allergic reactions including reactions to drugs
• to treat local inflammation e.g. of joints, tendons or the eye
• as replacement for the body’s naturally occurring corticosteroid hormones when these are reduced or absent
• to treat severe shock, (collapse) due to surgery, injury or overwhelming infection.

Corticosteroids are also used to help prevent organ transplant rejection following organ transplant surgery.
