Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that works by suppressing inflammatory responses and modifying immune system activity at the cellular level. Diphenylpyraline is an antihistamine (H1 receptor antagonist) that blocks histamine from binding to receptors, reducing allergic symptoms like itching, sneezing, and runny nose.
May cause drowsiness due to the antihistamine component. Long-term corticosteroid use carries risks including adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, and immune suppression. Should not be stopped abruptly after prolonged use. Consult healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
