Hi,
The common side effects of Betnesol Forte (a corticosteroid) include stomach acidity related issues like gastritis or ulcer, high blood pressure, increased blood sugar, thinning of the bones / skin, mood changes, increased facial hair growth, muscle weakness, swelling of the feet and legs, cataract and glaucoma.
Based on the history you seem to have developed cataract. Advised to consult your doctor for an alternate effective but a safer medicine to treat alopecia.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
