Celestoderm-B - instructions for use, dose, side effects, contraindications

Pharmacodynamics:Betamethasone has an anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effect by inhibiting the release of cytokines and inflammatory mediators, reducing the metabolism of arachidonic acid, inducing the formation of lipocortins, having anti-edematous activity, reducing vascular permeability. The microdispersion of this glucocorticosteroid (GCS) in low-fat, odorless, leaving no traces on clothes, easily washed off by ointment base provides effective penetration into the skin and rapid onset of action.

Preparations of this group should not be used in pregnant women in large doses or for a long time.

Children who took local SCS had the following side effects: suppression of the function of the CGN system, Cushing's syndrome; linear growth retardation, lag in weight gain, increased intracranial pressure.Symptoms of suppression of adrenal cortex function in children include a decrease in the level of cortisol in the plasma and a lack of response to stimulation of ACTH. Increase in intracranial pressure is manifested by bulging fontanel, headache, bilateral edema of the optic disc.
