DESCRIPTION:
Betamethasone Valerate Cream, Ointment and Lotion contain
betamethasone valerate
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 valerate is a white to practically white odorless
crystalline powder
practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in acetone and
chloroform, soluble in alcohol,
and slightly soluble in benzene and ether. Chemically, it is
9-fluoro-11β,17,21-trihydroxy-
16β-methylpregna-1, 4-diene-3,20-dione 17-valerate. The structural
formula is:
Each gram of the 0.1% Cream contains 1.2 mg betamethasone valerate
(equivalent to 1
mg betamethasone) in a soft, white, hydrophilic cream of purified
water, mineral oil,
white petrolatum, polyethylene glycol 1000 monocetyl ether,
cetostearyl alcohol,
monobasic sodium phosphate and phosphoric acid or sodium hydroxide (to
adjust pH, if
required); chlorocresol is present as a preservative.
Each gram of the 0.1% Ointment contains 1.2 mg betamethasone valerate
(equivalent to
1 mg betamethasone) in an ointment base of white petrolatum and
mineral oil.

(equivalent to 1
mg betamethasone) in a vehicle of isopropyl alcohol and water slightly
thickened with
carbomer 934P. Sodium hydroxide is used to adjust pH.

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 clinica
