PHARMACODYNAMICS
Betamethasone 17-valerate is a potent synthetic
corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and antipruritic actions.
Betamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid whose principal
actions are gluconeogenesis, glycogen deposition, protein and
calcium metabolism, inhibition of corticotrophin secretion and
anti-inflammatory activity. Its effectiveness in topical applications
is primarily due to its anti-inflammatory and antipruritic actions.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Betamethasone
is
absorbed
through
the
skin,
particularly
in denuded areas. Its penetration through the skin can be
increased by means of an occlusive dressing. The absorbed
betamethasone is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the
urine.
INDICATIONS
For the relief of inflammatory manifestations of
corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses such as in eczema, infantile
eczema, atopic dermatitis,
dermatitis
herpetiformis,
contact
dermatitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, neurodermatitis,
some form of psoriasis and intertrigo.
