View company portfolio →What Cortidrm (Betamethasone) is used for
Betamethasone is a corticosteroid (steroid) medicine. It is a man-made copy of a hormone the body makes naturally, and it calms swelling, redness, itching and an overactive immune system. It is not the same as the anabolic steroids some people misuse to build muscle. It comes in many forms: creams, ointments, lotions, scalp lotions and foams and medicated plasters for the skin; drops for the eyes, ears or nose and an eye ointment; tablets (including soluble tablets); and an injection. Some products also contain an antibiotic or an antifungal. Most betamethasone skin products are strong (potent) steroids. It is a prescription medicine.
- Skin: itchy, red, swollen or irritated skin from eczema, contact dermatitis or psoriasis, usually when a weaker steroid has not worked
- Scalp: psoriasis and other inflamed skin conditions on the scalp (lotions and foams)
- Eyes and nose: redness, irritation and swelling from allergies such as hay fever
- Ears: inflammation of the outer ear, for example from eczema, water or ear plugs
- Drops that also contain an antibiotic (neomycin): inflammation with a bacterial infection, such as swimmer's ear
- Tablets and injection: asthma and severe allergic reactions
