Betnesol Drops – Corticosteroid for Eye, Ear & Nasal Relief

Betnesol Drops Specification

  • Requires Prescription (YES/NO): Yes

  • Generics: Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate

  • Used For: Inflammation of eyes, ears, or nasal passages

  • Class: Corticosteroid (Topical Ophthalmic/Otic/Nasal Anti-inflammatory)

 How It Works

Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate is a potent corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation, swelling, redness, and irritation. It works by inhibiting multiple inflammatory cytokines and suppressing the immune response in the targeted area (eyes, ears, or nose), helping relieve discomfort and promote healing in inflammatory conditions.

Usage and Safety

  • Eyes: 1–2 drops in affected eye(s) 2–4 times daily

  • Ears: 2–3 drops in affected ear 2–3 times daily

  • Nose (if advised): 1–2 drops in each nostril up to twice daily

  • Always follow your doctor’s instructions

  • Do not touch the dropper tip to avoid contamination

Side Effects:

  • Temporary stinging or burning sensation
