The doctor prescribed me to take Beta Cap Plus (10 capsules for 30 days). I am suffering from a severe headache and just want to know what the side effects are and if there's any problem for your heart, liver, kidney and pregnancy timing? ## Beta Caps contain the active ingredient Betamethasone and in the U.S. the FDA advises against using it during pregnancy, because studies have shown it to be tetrogenic. This means it can be toxic and dangerous when used during early developmental stages. Are you saying it was prescribed for the headaches or you think it is causing them? That is not a normal side effect, they can include: nausea, dizziness, weight gain and fluid retention. Read more:

I tore a little of the skin between my thigh and private, it healed but later it became red and irritated should i try to use quadriderm on it? ## Unfortunately I'm not familiar with your full medical history so I am unable to tell you what you should use for this, especially in such a sensitive area. Quadriderm is a topical cream that contains Betamethasone, Gentamicin and Clioquinol. It is used to treat skin irritation and infections. It is usually applied to the affect area, 2 to 3 times daily, as directed by your doctor. Have you consulted your doctor about this?

cream for skin. What is it? ## Betaderm contains the active ingredient Betamethasone. Betamethasone is a moderately potent glucocorticoid steroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Unlike other drugs with these effects, betamethasone does not cause water retention. It is applied as a topical cream, ointment, foam, lotion or gel to treat itching (e.g. from eczema). For more details you can see: Actually, I was under the impression that the brand Betaderm was discontinued (according to the FDA site) [1], but if you were able to get a prescription for it then I guess not. Do you have any other questions or information to add? Please post back if you do... [1]

## Do you mean Dexamethasone? Dexamethasone is a member of the glucocorticoid class of hormones. This means they are steroids but, unlike the anabolic steroids that we hear about regarding sports medicine, these are catabolic steroids. Instead of building the body up, they are designed to break down stored resources (fats, sugars and proteins) so that they may be used as fuels in times of stress. Cortisone would be an example of a related hormone with which most people are familiar.
