Stemin 0.5mg Tablet

Description

Stemin 0.5mg Tablet contains Betamethasone, a corticosteroid medicine widely used to relieve inflammation and suppress overactive immune responses. It works by reducing the release of natural substances in the body that cause swelling, redness, and allergic reactions. This medicine is commonly prescribed for conditions such as severe allergies, asthma, skin disorders, arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and certain autoimmune disorders. It may also be used in cases where the body does not produce enough natural corticosteroids.

Uses:

• Treatment of severe allergic reactions

• Management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• Relief from inflammatory conditions like arthritis and bursitis

• Skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis

• Autoimmune disorders (e.g., lupus, multiple sclerosis)

• Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)

• Adrenal insufficiency (as replacement therapy, under doctor’s guidance)
