Q: it's okay to use celestone-m cream for acne right?

Terrible idea: Betamethasone will interfere with your body's ability to fight the bacteria that cause acne. The pimples may regress as the bacteria overgrow, but they will have won and your disease will get worse. You are asking for a secondary infection, and if you keep doing this, the skin on your face will atrophy. Benzoyl peroxide and your physician are your two best friends.

Question 1

what would happen if 9mg of betamethasone were injected by accident into a person who does hours of high intensity cardiac exercise/day?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: It depends on where it was injected.  Likely, it would have absolutely no adverse effects.  It is sometimes injected into joints to relieve pain.

Question 2

can betamethasone injection cause me to have blurry vision ?? i got injected only once and vision has been blurry for week now

Accepted Answer

Details matter: Injection where? Dose? WHY???? Ask the Dr who treated you. MAYBE the injection and blurred vision are related.

Question 3

how long do side effects last after lumbar epid. celestone (betamethasone) inject. (odd heartbeat, hyperglycemia) ?

Accepted Answer

Short term: The side effects typically last less than a few days. Technically, the medication is active for 3weeks, but the side effects shouldn't last that long. See your doctor if they are getting worse or if any new ones develop.

Question 4

if i got injected with steroid just once for a infection that it still make me gain weight??  or vision problems ? or bloat? it was betamethasone

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: Although these can be side effects of chronic use of steroid, one injection as you have described will do none of these things. Hopefully the injection helped whatever you were treating.

Question 5

how to reverse kenalog 40mg/ml injection suspension 9triamcinolone0 inject 1 ml itramuscularly once side effects?

Accepted Answer

Reversal agent?: Haven't heard of any reversal agent for an intramuscular or intradermal injection of a corticosteroid medication like kenalog (triamcinolone). One's primary care doctor and the doctor who did the injection can work together to help treat side effects, whatever those might be.

Question 6

my 2 year old was prescribed with betamethasone. the dosage was 2ml every 12h, however after 3 days we noticed that we got the wrong one: 50mg/100ml when it should've been 5mg/100ml. what is the best way to gradually reduce the dose and retire it?

Accepted Answer

50mg/100ml is right: The antinflammatory dose of betamethasone is 0.1-0.3 mg/kg body weight/day. Assuming your child weighs over 10 kg,  then 0.1 mg dose/kg would be 1mg which is 2 ml of the 50mg/100 ml liquid (or 0.5 mg per ml). Depending on the diagnosis, steroids are often given for only 3-5 days and then stopped abruptly without taper.

Question 7

my doc suggested betamethasone injection 3impule in one injection n should repeat after 24hours isnt it very heavy dose for fetal as i feel numbness?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Betamethasone is injected every 24 hours for two doses to help your baby's lungs and brain mature. Usually this is prescribed when a physician is worried about the baby being delivered early and the risks of prematurity out weigh the risks of the steroid injection.

Question 8

what is the use of medivin or betamethasone cream?

Accepted Answer

Betamethasone: Betamethasone is a steroid (cortisone)cream used for inflammatory skin conditions (rashes).  It should not be used for very long due to risks of atrophy of the skin.

Question 9

ok to get betamethasone in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

OK for preterm risks: Betamethasone is usually given in 2 doses 24 hours apart after 24 weeks of gestation to anyone who is at risk for preterm delivery. Common candidates are women with multiples, incompetent cervix, complete previa, or anyone who has a history of preterm delivery for whatever reason.  It's well studied, effective, debate still about additional courses & timing.  I give a rescue dose if ptl < 32 weeks.

Question 10

it's okay to use celestone-m cream for acne right?

Accepted Answer

Terrible idea: Betamethasone will interfere with your body's ability to fight the bacteria that cause acne. The pimples may regress as the bacteria overgrow, but they will have won and your disease will get worse.
