Celestone Soluspan Drug Center

Celestone Soluspan (betamethasone sodium phosphate and betamethasone acetate) is used to treat chronic or long-term inflammation associated with multiple conditions including severe allergies, dermatological diseases, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, hematologic disorders, neoplastic diseases, nervous system disorders, ophthalmologic diseases, renal diseases, respiratory diseases and rheumatic disorders, and others that may not be listed. Celestone Soluspan is a corticosteroid and is available in generic form. Common side effects include acne, weight gain, mood or behavior changes, upset stomach, bone loss, eye changes, and slowing of growth. Long-term use can lead to suppression of your adrenal glands and cause fatigue, lethargy, low blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalances.

Dose of Celestone Soluspan is based on the individual patient and the condition that is being treated. Celestone Soluspan may interact with diuretics (water pills), antibiotics, warfarin, anti-diabetic agents, oral contraceptives, ketoconazole, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cyclosporine and digitalis. Tell your doctor all medications you are taking. Celestone Soluspan should be used during pregnancy only if prescribed. It could cause harm the fetus. Infants born to mothers who have received corticosteroids during pregnancy should be monitored for signs of hypoadrenalism. Celestone Soluspan passes into breast milk and could cause unwanted side effects for a nursing infant. Discuss breast-feeding with your doctor.
