Is It Safe To Take Betnesol Injection?
Hi, I have a question regarding betnesol injection. I am in my thrid trimester now and doctor has prescribed this injection of 12mg of two shots in 24hrs gaps. I have had earlier case of IUD with Fullterm baby which was of about 4kgs. Doctor said the cause was Placental Insufficiency. I have heard Betnesol is used for fasting the lung developmental. Is it safe to take? would it have any side effects on the child later as its not a natural process

Hi,
Looking at the past history of IUD, your doctor has prescribed inj Betnasol to support vital functions of the fetus and avoid IUD. The dose of medicine would be tapered off after birth and such small course does not have any adverse effect on health of the baby. Please continue with the treatment advised. At times if the advantage over weighs side effect, it's wiser to use the drug with precaution.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
