Description
Betamethasone Product Overview
Betamethasone (C22H29FO5) is a white to creamy white crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water. It is a fluorinated glucocorticoid and a stereoisomer of Dexamethasone, differing only in the orientation of one methyl group.
Pharmaceutical companies use the free alcohol in tablets, oral solutions and some injectables. For skin products, they mainly use its esters, such as the valerate and dipropionate esters, which penetrate the skin better. Other corticosteroid APIs in our range include Prednisolone and Hydrocortisone.
As a highly potent steroid, it requires contained handling during production. Zyntex supplies it from qualified API producers, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
