Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Diprofos contains betamethasone.
This belongs to category C drug in pregnancy according to FDA.
It will be excreated through kidney.
The half life is 36 to 54 hours.
So possibly it will take 4 to 5 days for complete excretion from the body.
It usually won't affect the menstrual cycles.
It's effect on immune system is also not long lasting.
To be on safe side, you plan for pregnancy in the next cycle.
The edema etc symptoms can also subside soon possibility.
Take care.
