Frequently asked Questions about Betaron

Question about 5 years ago

How does Betaron work?

Question almost 5 years ago

Is Betaron a pain-killer?

Dr. R.K Singh MBBS , Diabetology

Betaron is not a pain-killer. It belongs to the class of drug called steroids, which helps in relieving the symptoms of allergies and inflammation.

Question almost 5 years ago

Why Betaron is given along with vitamin B 12?

Dr. Rahul Poddar MBBS, DNB, MBBS, DNB , General Surgery

This is because a long-term use of Betaron can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency. Stomach acids help in the absorption of Vitamin B 12, and this drug suppresses stomach acid which is required for the absorption of vitamin B12. Hence patients taking Betaron for a long time have Vitamin B12 deficiency. To replenish Vitamin B12 in your body your doctor prescribes this vitamin along with this medicine.
