Hello.
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic

No, you should not give betnesol forte for more than prescribed period of time. It contains corticosteroid, betamethasone as active ingredient and is not meant for long term use because of harmful side effects. Please take the medication only for prescribed period of time.
