Betasol 4mg Injection

Betasol 4mg Injection is a corticosteroid medicine that contains betamethasone. It is used to reduce inflammation, relieve swelling, and manage allergic reactions. Doctors prescribe it for a wide range of conditions such as severe allergies, asthma, arthritis, skin disorders, and certain autoimmune diseases. In some cases, it may also be used to treat hormonal problems or to support recovery in specific medical conditions.

The injection is given by a healthcare professional, usually into a muscle, vein, or joint depending on the condition being treated.

• Skin disorders (eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis)

• Joint and muscle problems (arthritis, bursitis, gout, tendonitis)

• Autoimmune diseases (such as lupus)

• Certain severe infections or inflammatory conditions (as advised by the doctor)

Possible Side Effects
Like other steroids, Betasol Injection may cause some side effects, especially with long-term use, such as:

• Increased appetite or weight gain

• Stomach upset

• Mood changes, anxiety, or sleep problems

• Fluid retention or swelling

• Higher risk of infections due to low immunity

Long-term or repeated use may lead to serious effects like bone thinning, high blood sugar, or eye problems. Always follow the doctor’s advice strictly.

How It Works
Betamethasone, the active ingredient, works by suppressing the body’s immune response and blocking the release of substances that cause inflammation and allergies. This reduces symptoms like swelling, redness, itching, and pain.

How It Is Given

• Administered only by a healthcare professional

• Given by injection into a muscle, vein, or directly into the affected joint/tissue

• The dose and frequency depend on the patient’s condition and response to treatment

Safety Advice

• Not suitable for patients allergic to corticosteroids

• Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, infections, or liver/kidney problems before use

• Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they may worsen side effects

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use it only if clearly needed and prescribed by the doctor

• Do not stop the medicine suddenly without medical advice, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms

Missed Dose
Since this injection is given in a clinical setting, missing a dose is unlikely. If a scheduled dose is missed, your doctor will guide you on the next step.
