Hi,

Diprofos (Betamethasone) is a steroid & has many potential side effects, particularly on term use. However short-time use is preferred and is slowly tapered over a few days, before stopping the drug. Whether it has to be given as injectable or oral form depends upon serious of the condition. Usually injectable is given first to have faster-desired action followed by maintenance oral dose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
