HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different formulations of celestamine. In some areas celestamine contains loratidine and bethamethasone. Loratidine is an antihistamine and betamethasone is an oral steroid.
In other areas it contains dexchlorpheniramine and bethamethasone.

The dose would depend on the formulation you are using. You may want to consult your doctor to find out which dose would be right for you.

I hope this helps
