What are the side effects and precautions for my wife taking Betnesol 12 mg while she is 28 weeks pregnant with twins?

Asked by Female, 25 · 14 days ago

It is completely understandable to feel concerned, but please be reassured. Betnesol (betamethasone) is commonly prescribed at 28 weeks, especially with twins, to help mature your babies' lungs and prepare them for a healthy birth. It is a safe and highly protective measure. Temporary side effects for you might include mild flushing, a brief increase in blood sugar, or slight fluid retention. As a precaution, your doctor will monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Please rest assured that this medication is incredibly beneficial for your twins.
