Description

There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks. Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.

Mode of Action

Betamethasone valerate is a corticosteroid which is effective in inflammatory dermatoses. It is also effective in less responsive conditions such as psoriasis. Neomycin sulfate is a broad spectrum antibiotic. It is bactericidal against many bacteria which are commonly associated with skin infections.

Interaction

If there is significant systemic absorption, neomycin sulfate may increase the respiratory depressant effects of neuromuscular blockers.
