Betamethasone Custom Compounded Formulas
Precision-Formulated Betamethasone for Inflammation and Skin Relief
Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid commonly used to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with a variety of skin and autoimmune conditions. At King’s Pharmacy and Compounding Center, we create custom-compounded betamethasone treatments that provide targeted relief in strengths and forms suited to your specific condition and sensitivity.
What Is Betamethasone?
Betamethasone helps control inflammation by suppressing the body’s immune response in targeted areas. It’s frequently used in dermatology, rheumatology, and allergy care, treating everything from psoriasis and eczema to joint pain and allergic flare-ups. While powerful, the effectiveness and safety of betamethasone depend heavily on proper dosing and application, which is where compounding makes a difference.

- Dermatitis (including allergic contact dermatitis)
- Skin rashes and insect bites
- Lichen planus and lichen sclerosus
- Autoimmune joint conditions (e.g., localized arthritis or bursitis)
