Pharmacological Action
Betamethasone Disodium Phosphate exhibits significant anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and promoting the polarization of M1 to M2 macrophages, thereby alleviating and preventing the tissue's response to inflammation. Its anti-inflammatory potency is stronger than that of dexamethasone, triamcinolone, hydrocortisone, and others. It can eliminate fever, redness, and swelling caused by local non-infectious inflammation.
