Betamethasone valerate is a synthetic glucocorticoid ester. It is the 17-valerate ester of betamethasone.[1][2] Betamethasone valerate is often used to treat mild eczema with good efficacy and lower incidence of steroid induced adverse effects due to its lower potency compared to other glucocorticoids.[3] Betamethasone-17-valerate is available in cream, ointment, lotion, and foam preparations for topical use.[3][4][5]
