चिकित्सीय संकेत:

Topical corticosteroids are indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation. Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, low plasma cortisol levels, and absence of response to ACTH stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema. Administration of topical corticosteroids to pediatric patients should be limited to the least amount compatible with an effective therapeutic regimen. Chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with the growth and development of children.

DESCRIPTION:
Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion, USP 0.05% 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. Chemically, it is
9-fluoro-11β,17,21-trihydroxy-16β-methylpregna-1,4-
diene-3,20-dione 17,21-dipropionate. The structural formula is:
Molecular Formula: C

FO
Molecular Weight: 504.60
Each gram contains 0.64 mg betamethasone dipropionate (equivalent to
0.5 mg
betamethasone) in a vehicle of isopropyl alcohol and purified water
slightly thickened
with carbomer 974P. Sodium hydroxide solution to adjust pH, if
required.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
Topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and
vasoconstrictive actions.

The mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of the topical
corticosteroids is unclear.
Various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used
to compare and
predict potencies and/or clinical efficacies of the topical
corticosteroids. There is some
evidence to suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between
vasoconstrictor
potency and therapeutic efficacy in man.
PHARMACOKINETICS: The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical
corticosteroids is
determined by many factors including the vehicle, the integrity of the
epidermal barrier,
and the use of occlusive dressings.
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
