Biochem/physiol Actions

Betamethasone is used to treat neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and psoriasis.

Diagnostic Implications

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive abilities, used especially where water retention is undesirable. It is applied as a topical cream, ointment, lotion or gel to treat itching (e.g. from eczema). Corticosteroid used to stimulate fetal lung maturation and to decrease the incidence and mortality from intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants

Glucocorticoids exert their actions via the glucocorticoid receptor through at least 2 intracellular mechanisms, known as transrepression and transactivation. It has been hypothesized that transrepression is the basis of their anti-inflammatory effects, whereas transactivation has been assumed to cause their

We hypothesized that maternal treatments with betamethasone acetate induce fetal lung maturation comparably to the betamethasone phosphate+betamethasone acetate used clinically. Ewes with singleton pregnancies were treated with single doses of 0.25-mg/kg or 0.5-mg/kg betamethasone acetate, 4 doses of 0.25-mg/kg betamethasone
