Designed for dermatological use, betamethasone valerate is a glucocorticoid that binds to intracellular receptors, altering gene activity to decrease inflammation. It is the 17-valerate ester of betamethasone, enhancing potency and reducing systemic exposure. Used for skin diseases like dermatitis, it minimizes redness, swelling, and itching, offering targeted relief. Its introduction in 1967 revolutionized corticosteroid-based treatments.
