Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Diprofos Injection contains ingredients namely: Betamethasone Dipropionate and Betamethasone Disodium Phosphate.
It is a corticosteroid preparation which acts by decreasing the inflammation. Thus, this injection is used in control and treatment of Chronic bronchial Asthma.
The possible side effects with its use are possible, but do not always occur. These include: dryness of skin, Acne, Itching and Change in skin colour.
Kindly take the medication as prescribed by your doctor and do the necessary follow-up as advised.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
