Take medicine exactly as told by the doctor. Do not miss any dose or stop taking it without consulting the doctor. You must complete the entire course with the medicine. Please do not increase the amount or discontinue abruptly without consulting the prescriber, as it may worsen the disease condition.
Some common side effects of Betnesol tablets are nausea, indigestion and heartburn, but not everybody gets them. These side effects usually go away with time. But if you feel the side effects persist, you should consult your doctor. Other tablets with betamethasone include Walacort 0.5mg tablet and Bzon tablet.
Betnesol might cause an upset stomach, so it may be taken with meals to reduce these side effects. Small, frequent meals and frequent mouth care might help reduce it. Limit your intake of caffeine. Doctors may recommend increased dietary vitamins, minerals, or iron.
Before taking Betnesol tablets, it is important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or currently breastfeeding. It is also vital to inform your doctor about your detailed medical history. This medicine may weaken the body's immune system, making it more difficult to fight off infections. Therefore, informing your doctor of any signs of an infection, such as a sore throat or unhealed injuries is important. Additionally, avoiding crowds and individuals with contagious or infectious conditions is recommended.
