Hi,
Diprofos injection contains the active ingredient
betamethasone, which is a type of corticosteroid. As with all medications, diprofos injection can have potential side effects, some of which may include:
- Increased risk of infections
- Increased blood sugar levels
- Increased appetite and weight gain
- Fluid retention and swelling
Mood changes or mental health problems, such as
anxiety and depression
-
Osteoporosis or weakening of bones with long-term use
- Skin thinning, bruising, or discoloration
- Adrenal suppression, which can affect the body's ability to respond to stress or illness
It is important to follow your doctor's instructions when taking the diprofos injection and to report any side effects you experience. Your doctor may recommend alternate treatments or adjust the dose and frequency of the medication to minimize the risk of side effects. Additionally, they may recommend regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels,
bone density, and other health parameters to ensure the medication is safe for you to use.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
