CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The corticosteroids are a class of compounds comprising steroid
hormones, secreted
by the adrenal cortex and their synthetic analogs. In pharmacologic
doses
corticosteroids are used primarily for their anti-inflammatory and/or
immunosuppressive
effects.
Topical corticosteroids, such as betamethasone dipropionate, are
effective in the
treatment of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses primarily because of
their anti-

inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions. However,
while the physiologic,
pharmacologic, and clinical effects of the corticosteroids are well
known, the exact
mechanisms of their actions in each disease are uncertain.
Betamethasone dipropionate,
a corticosteroid, has been shown to have topical (dermatologic) and
systemic
pharmacologic and metabolic effects characteristic of this class of
drugs.
