Brief Answer:
Given only when there is prematurity.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
This preparation is given when there is a risk of preterm labour.
Preterm babies are born with immature lungs, and this preparation is supposed to enhance lung maturity of the premature baby.
It is of no use when the baby is going to be born full term.
It is generally given when delivery is expected to occur before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy.
All the best
