Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion

Pronunciation: bay-ta-METH-a-sone die-PRO-pee-oh-nate
Generic Name: Betamethasone Dipropionate
Brand Name: Generic only. No brands available.

Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion is used for:

Reducing itching, redness, and swelling associated with many skin conditions.

Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion is a topical corticosteroid. It works by depressing the formation, release, and activity of different cells and chemicals that cause swelling, redness, and itching.

Do NOT use Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion or to another corticosteroid (eg, prednisone)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion:

Some medical conditions may interact with Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have thinning of the skin, a skin infection, tuberculosis, chickenpox, shingles, measles, a positive TB skin test, or have recently been vaccinated

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion. Because little, if any, of Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.

Ask your health care provider if Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion:

Use Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• Shake well before each use.


• Place nozzle of the bottle very close to the affected area and gently squeeze a small amount of medicine onto the affected area. Do not touch the nozzle to the skin. Gently rub the medicine in until it is evenly distributed. Wash your hands after applying Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion, unless your hands are part of the treated area. Do not apply Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion to the face, groin, or armpit unless otherwise directed by your doctor.


• Do not cover the treating area with bandages, wrappings, or other dressings unless advised to do so by your health care provider.


• If you miss a dose of Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion, apply it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion.

Important safety information:

• Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. If you get Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion in your eyes, immediately flush with cool tap water.


• Do not use Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion for other skin conditions at a later time.


• Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion has a corticosteroid in it. Before you start any new medicine, check the label to see if it has a corticosteroid in it too. If it does or if you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.


• If Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion was prescribed to treat the diaper area of a child, avoid using tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants.


• Check with your doctor before you have any vaccinations while you are using Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion.

• Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion should not be used in CHILDREN younger than 13 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.


• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion while you are pregnant. It is not known if Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.

You will be shown the body areas where this shot can be given. Use a different body area each time you give yourself a shot. Keep track of where you give each shot to make sure you rotate body areas. This will help prevent skin problems from the injections.

Use only the brand of desirudin that your doctor prescribed. Different brands may not work the same way.

If the medicine in the vial (glass container) or prefilled syringe has changed color, or if you see particles in it, do not use it.

Put used syringes in a puncture-resistant, disposable container, or dispose of them as directed by your doctor.

The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

Precautions While Using desirudin

It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure desirudin is working properly. Blood tests will be needed to check for unwanted effects. Be sure to keep all appointments.

desirudin may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash; itching; swelling of the face, tongue, and throat; trouble breathing; or chest pain after you receive desirudin.

Make sure your doctor knows if you have had an allergic reaction to similar medicines such as bivalirudin, lepirudin, Angiomax®, Angiox®, or Refludan®.

Desirudin may increase your chance of bleeding or bruising. This risk is higher if you have a catheter in your back for pain medicine or anesthesia (sometimes called an "epidural"), or if you have kidney problems. The risk of bleeding increases as the severity of your kidney problems increases. Check with your doctor right away if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising; black, tarry stools; bleeding gums; blood in the urine or stools; or pinpoint red spots on your skin.

You may bleed and bruise more easily while you are using desirudin. Stay away from rough sports or other situations where you could be bruised, cut, or injured. Be careful when using sharp objects, including razors and fingernail clippers. Avoid nose picking and forceful nose blowing.

Be careful when using a regular toothbrush, dental floss, or toothpick. Your medical doctor, dentist, or nurse may recommend other ways to clean your teeth and gums. Check with your medical doctor before having any dental work done.

Make sure any doctor or dentist who treats you knows that you are using desirudin. You may need to stop using desirudin several days before having surgery or medical tests.

Do not take or discontinue other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines, and herbal or vitamin supplements.
