Cortibet 0.5 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for Female, 36 years old from Mumbai

I am 34 weeks pregnant with twins through ivf. My doctor told me to take dexamethasone Injections 12 mg x3 shots in 12 hours gap. I have heard that’s it’s a steroid injection and only 2 shots should be taken becuase too many shots can effect the cell membrane of brain of unborn child. So I am worried to take 3 shots. Can anybody solve my query? And I want to know that dexamethasone or Betamethasone which one is more safe for my babies?

Betamethasone I use, but it is ok to use another. 2 or 3 shots practically does not make difference.

Suffering from infection (red patches and irritation) on glans and shaft of the penis (might be balanoposthitis). Applied Surfaz SN cream (Betamethasone (0.025%w/w) + Clotrimazole (1%w/w) + Neomycin (0.5%w/w)) on the glans and shaft since 10 days. But this has not helped much, redness is increasing. Consulted doctor he told, this could be due to irritation from Surfaz SN cream. My query is: how to treat this side effect of Surfaz Sn cream (used 10 days on the glans)? Please Advice its really urgent.

Hi, Will taking a short course of Betamethasone 0.5 mg soluble tablets ie. 10 tablets over 4 days 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 to treat a debilitating eczema flair up affect or be affected by a dosage of 3x10 mg Domperidone per day to treat an ongoing mild stomach disorder. I can find no suggestion of any such problem in the details of either but am inclined to cease the domperidone for the 4 day course of the steroid.

The steroids will not cure eczema.
And it has some very bad effects on health which normal people do not know.
Better avoid it.
Take homoeopathic treatment..

Asked for male, 30 years old from Mumbai

Foreskin of penis doesn't move beyond head when erect. No such problem when it is flaccid. I have tried using betamethasone cream, but it hasn't helped. Oral sex is painful. Sex isn't painful, but the foreskin swells after sex and rolling down foreskin is painful even when flaccid. Please suggest any other alternative apart from circumcision. Also, frenulum doesn't stretch when erect.
