Description
Betamethasone Dipropionate Product Overview
Betamethasone dipropionate (C28H37FO7) is a white to creamy white crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water and freely soluble in acetone. It is the 17,21-dipropionate ester of Betamethasone, which makes it more lipophilic and very effective in topical products.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in creams, ointments, lotions and scalp solutions, often in combination with other APIs such as antifungals, antibiotics or vitamin D analogues. It is also used in injectable suspensions together with betamethasone sodium phosphate. Related topical corticosteroids in our range include Betamethasone valerate and Mometasone furoate.
As a highly potent steroid, it requires contained handling. Zyntex supplies it from qualified API producers, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies. For a related corticosteroid, see Dexamethasone.
