Abbreviated New Drug Application
BETAMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE- BETAMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE OINTMENT BRYANT RANCH PREPACK ---------- BETAMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE OINTMENT USP, 0.05% (Potency expressed as betamethasone) RX ONLY FOR DERMATOLOGIC USE ONLY. NOT FOR OPHTHALMIC USE. DESCRIPTION: Betamethasone dipropionate ointment contains betamethasone dipropionate USP, a synthetic adrenocorticosteroid, for dermatologic use. Betamethasone, an analog of prednisolone, has a high degree of glucocorticoid activity and a slight degree of mineralocorticoid activity. Betamethasone dipropionate is a white to cream white odorless crystalline powder insoluble in water.

The structural formula is: Each gram of the 0.05% ointment contains 0.64 mg betamethasone dipropionate (equivalent to 0.5 mg betamethasone) in an ointment base of mineral oil and white petrolatum.

Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmac Lesen Sie das vollständige Dokument
