This medication is primarily used to treat various inflammatory conditions, such as allergic reactions, skin disorders (eczema, dermatitis), asthma, rheumatic disorders, and certain autoimmune diseases. It helps to reduce swelling, redness, itching, and other symptoms associated with inflammation.
Betnesol 3g is available in different forms, including creams, ointments, lotions, and injections. The appropriate form and dosage will depend on the specific condition being treated and the doctor’s recommendation.
