Betamethasone Valerate

Betamethasone valerate is a synthetic glucocorticoid designed to treat inflammation and autoimmune conditions, primarily in dermatology. As the 17-valerate ester of betamethasone, it offers enhanced topical action with reduced systemic effects. By modulating gene expression, it increases anti-inflammatory protein synthesis while suppressing inflammatory mediators, effectively reducing chronic inflammation. Introduced in 1967, it is approved for managing conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
