A member asked:
How long do side effects last after lumbar epid. celestone (betamethasone) inject. (odd heartbeat, hyperglycemia) ?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
