Beclamethasone

Beclamethasone is a synthetic corticosteroid, specifically a diester of beclomethasone, designed for topical administration to the skin and scalp. It is classified as a potent (Class II) topical corticosteroid, primarily indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Unlike its more famous cousin, beclomethasone dipropionate, which is used inhaled for asthma or intranasally for allergies, this formulation is optimized for dermal penetration and local anti-inflammatory action with a reduced potential for systemic absorption compared to some other super-high potency agents.
