DESCRIPTION
Betamethasone dipropionate cream contains betamethasone dipropionate,
USP, a synthetic
adrenocorticosteroid, for dermatologic use. Betamethasone, an analog
of prednisolone, has high
corticosteroid activity and slight mineral-ocorticoid activity.
Betamethasone dipropionate is the 17,21-
dipropionate ester of betamethasone.
Chemically, betamethasone dipropionate is 9-Fluoro-11 β,
17,21-trihydroxy-16β-methylpregna-1,4-
diene-3,20-dione 17,21-dipropionate, with the empirical formula C
H FO , a molecular weight of
504.6, and the following structural formula:
Betamethasone dipropionate is a white to creamy white, odorless
crystalline powder, insoluble in
water.
Each gram of betamethasone dipropionate cream 0.05% contains: 0.64 mg
betamethasone dipropionate
USP (equivalent to 0.5 mg betamethasone) in a hydrophilic cream base
consisting of purified water,
mineral oil, white petrolatum, polyethylene glycol 1000 monocetyl
ether, cetostearyl alcohol,
monobasic sodium phosphate, propylene glycol, phosphoric acid and/or
sodium hydroxide for pH
adjustment and chlorocresol as a preservative.
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.
