Fingolimod: Immunosuppressants may enhance the immunosuppressive effect of Fingolimod. Management: Avoid the concomitant use of fingolimod and other immunosuppressants when possible. If combined, monitor patients closely for additive immunosuppressant effects (eg, infections). Consider therapy modification
Indium 111 Capromab Pendetide: Corticosteroids (Systemic) may diminish the diagnostic effect of Indium 111 Capromab Pendetide. Avoid combination
Urea Cycle Disorder Agents: Corticosteroids (Systemic) may diminish the therapeutic effect of Urea Cycle Disorder Agents. More specifically, Corticosteroids (Systemic) may increase protein catabolism and plasma ammonia concentrations, thereby increasing the doses of Urea Cycle Disorder Agents needed to maintain these concentrations in the target range. Monitor therapy
Take with food to reduce irritation.
Betamethasone interacts with specific receptors in the cytoplasm of the cell, the resulting complex passes into the cell nucleus, where it binds to DNA and enhances the synthesis of mRNA, which promotes the synthesis of proteins, including lipocortin. In some cells (in lymphocytes, for example), mRNA is inhibited. Lipocortin has a depressing effect on phospholipase A2, thereby blocking the release of arachidonic acid and the synthesis of prostaglandins, endoperoxides, leukotrienes (which contribute to the development of allergies, inflammation and other pathological processes). It affects all phases of inflammation. Anti-inflammatory effect is possible due to many factors. The main one is the inhibition of phospholipase A2 with further inhibition of the synthesis of such pro-inflammatory mediators as leukotrienes and prostaglandins. Betamethasone also stabilizes cell membranes, including lysosome membranes, which prevents the release of their enzymes, reducing the concentration in the focus of inflammation. It reduces the migration of macrophages and neutrophils to the site of inflammation and their phagocytic activity. Reduces vascular permeability, leads to vasoconstriction of capillaries, reduces fluid exudation, improves microcirculation. The antiallergic effect of betamethasone is possible as a result of a decrease in the release and formation of allergic mediators, blocking the release of histamine and other biologically active substances from basophils and sensitized mast cells, a decrease in the number of circulating basophils, inhibition of proliferation of connective and lymphoid tissue, a decrease in the number of mast cells, B and T cells lymphocytes, reducing the sensitivity of effector cells to allergic mediators, inhibiting the formation of antibodies, changing immune ETA body. The immunosuppressive effect is associated with a decrease in the activity of B- and T-lymphocytes, as well as inhibition of the release of cytokines (interferon-gamma, interleukin-2, interleukin-1) from macrophages and leukocytes. Antitoxic and antishock effects are associated with an increase in blood pressure (the number of circulating catecholamines increases, the sensitivity of adrenoreceptors to them and vasoconstriction is restored), activation of hepatic enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of xeno - and endobiotics. Betamethasone affects all types of metabolism. It enhances gluconeogenesis in the liver, in the blood it increases the level of glucose (up to glucosuria). Accelerates protein catabolism, especially in muscles. Redistributes fats: increases lipolysis in the limbs, but contributes to the accumulation of fat in the shoulder girdle, neck, face (moon face). It retains water and Na +, enhances the excretion of K +, Ca +. With prolonged use, it suppresses the work of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland system. After enteral and parenteral (intramuscular) administration, it is absorbed rapidly - when administered orally, the maximum effect will develop in 1-2 hours. When using a combination of salts in one preparation, betamethasone disodium phosphate from the injection site is well absorbed and acts quickly, betamethasone dipropionate is absorbed more slowly, but provides a long-lasting effect. It passes into the intraocular fluid, iris, cornea, choroid, retina, ciliary body when instilled into the conjunctival sac. Systemic absorption can only become significant if high doses are used or used continuously in children. When applied topically to the skin, the intensity of absorption depends on a number of factors: the state of the skin barrier (skin diseases and inflammation increase absorption), the solvent (improve the penetration of polypropylene components). Betamethasone binds to plasma proteins. It easily penetrates the histohematological barriers, including the placental, excreted in breast milk. In the liver, it is biotransformed with the formation of inactive metabolites. Excreted by the kidneys. To assess the effect on fertility and the Becotide carcinogenicity of betamethasone for local use in animals, no lengthy studies have been conducted. In vitro in tests of chromosomal aberrations on human lymphocytes (during metabolic activation) and in vivo in a micronucleus test in the bone marrow of mice, betamethasone was genotoxic.

Mental disorders are likely in patients who have chronic diseases, are prone to the appearance of mental disorders and use large doses of the drug; such symptoms can occur up to 2 weeks after starting treatment. Betamethasone preparations are used with caution with herpes simplex, diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus (the risk of aseptic necrosis increases), in patients with a risk of thrombosis, osteoporosis, in the elderly (risk of hypertension, osteoporosis, especially in the postmenopausal period in women), only with appropriate antibiotic therapy - with purulent infections, abscesses, tuberculosis. It is necessary to take into account the increased effect of cirrhosis of the liver, hypothyroidism, the possibility of developing relative adrenal insufficiency (within a few months after stopping the drug). With prolonged therapy, careful monitoring of the dynamics of development and growth of children is necessary, periodically examining the eyes (to detect cataracts, glaucoma and other pathologies), regularly monitoring the functioning of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system, glucose levels in urine and blood, serum electrolytes, the presence of latent blood in the stool. With systemic use, electroencephalography is recommended. Avoid contact with mucous membranes and eyes of dosage forms that are intended for skin. Avoid immunization and vaccination during treatment. It is not recommended to drink alcohol during treatment with betamethasone.
The severity and frequency of development of adverse reactions depend on the size of the dose and the duration of treatment. Long-term therapy or high doses of glucocorticoids can lead to severe manifestations of mineral - and glucocorticoid effects, which are considered as side effects.

During pregnancy, betamethasone can be used if the expected benefit to the mother is higher than the possible risk to the fetus. With eclampsia, preeclampsia, symptoms of placental damage, it is contraindicated to use betamethasone. It is not recommended to be taken in large doses and often over a long period of time. Breastfeeding should be discontinued during betamethasone therapy.
Overdose
With an overdose of betamethasone, nausea, sleep disturbances, vomiting, euphoria, agitation occur. With prolonged use of high doses, osteoporosis, hypertension, fluid retention in the body and other symptoms of hypercorticism, including Itsenko-Cushing's syndrome and secondary adrenal insufficiency, appear.
