General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Betnesol is a corticosteroid drug primarily used to speed up lung development in preterm fetuses. The main reason is it can help to mitigate this issue, and it significantly reduces the risk of serious respiratory problems and death in newborns.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
