Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Taking Betnesol Injection During Pregnancy Harm The Foetus?
I am 32 weeks pregnant. Recently got bikini wax done due which lead to external vaginal bleeding, heavy bleeding on next day lead to consult doctor. And he to avoid any sort of risk prescribed betnesol injection. Next day he was relived that it was only external injury. But was there the need of injection if so and can that harm my baby? What are possible side effects that baby may develop? And uptill now I was having very very smooth pregnancy except few ups and downs, which were minor though.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Betnesol is steroid drug. It is usually given for fetal maturity. So it is safe for babies without any side effects. Your doctor was protective for your baby so he gave Betnesol injection. So even if you had preterm delivery, baby's maturity won't affect. Since everything was uneventful, no need to worry much for Betnesol injection. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
