Pharmacotherapeutic group
Systemic corticosteroids. Glucocorticoids. ATX code H02A B01.
Pharmacodynamics
Betamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid (9 alpha-fluoro-16-beta-methylprednisolone). Betamethasone has a strong anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immunosuppressive effect.
Betamethasone has no clinically significant mineralocorticoid effect. GCS spread through cell membranes and form complexes with specific receptors in the cytoplasm. These complexes then penetrate into the cell nucleus, bind to DNA (chromatin) and stimulate the transcription of messenger RNA and further synthesis of proteins of various enzymes. These latter will ultimately be responsible for the actions that are observed with the systematic use of glucocorticoids. In addition to their significant effect on inflammatory and immune processes, glucocorticoids also affect the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. They also affect the cardiovascular system, skeletal muscles and the central nervous system.
Effects on inflammatory and immune processes
It is on the anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and antiallergic properties of glucocorticoids that their use in therapeutic practice is based. The main aspects of these properties are: a decrease in the number of immunoactive cells at the level of the focus of inflammation, a decrease in vasodilation, stabilization of lysosomal membranes, inhibition of phagocytosis, a decrease in the production of prostaglandins and related compounds.
The anti-inflammatory effect is about 25 times greater than in hydrocortisone, and 8-10 times more than in prednisolone (in weight ratio).
