Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate API

Name of Product Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate
CAS No 151-73-5
Therapeutic use:- Steroids
Grade BP/USP
Form:- API Powder
Status Commercial

Product Overview

Betamethasone sodium phosphate is the sodium phosphate ester of betamethasone, a synthetic fluorinated corticoid.

It is an active pharmacological substance utilized in the creation of systemic and local steroid medications.

However, there are a number of different forms an API can take, depending on the formulation teams needs for the final product.

The betamethasone sodium phosphate form of this API is chosen when precise dosing and a fast, well-controlled response are required.

Therapeutic Applications

It is used solely as an API. Pharmaceutical companies use it to formulate corticosteroid medicines.

  • The final products with this API are usually developed for:

  • Short-term treatment of severe inflammatory conditions

  • Usage in some allergic or immune-related disorders

  • Use when a rapid onset of steroid action is needed.

    At the product level, it is often chosen for:

    • Injectable solutions

    • Eye or ear preparations

    • Other aqueous forms, as permitted by local legislation
