Adverse Reactions
ADVERSE REACTIONS The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently when betamethasone dipropionate cream is used as recommended in the DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION section.
These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae, miliaria.
Adverse reactions reported to be possibly or probably related to treatment with betamethasone dipropionate cream during a pediatric clinical study include signs of skin atrophy (bruising, shininess).
Skin atrophy occurred in 3 of 63 (5%) patients, a 3-year old, a 5-year old, and a 7-year old.
Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients.
