When considering Betnesol (betamethasone) tablets for skin allergies while being treated for intestinal tuberculosis, exercise caution due to potential interactions.

Potential Drug Interaction:
- Corticosteroids like betamethasone can suppress the immune system, potentially reducing the effectiveness of tuberculosis medications and worsening infections.
Consult Your Doctor:
- Discuss with your healthcare provider before starting Betnesol. They can evaluate your situation and suggest safer alternatives or adjust your treatment.
Monitoring:
- If corticosteroids are necessary, ensure close monitoring for any worsening of tuberculosis symptoms.
Alternative Treatments:
- Your doctor might recommend non-steroidal options or topical treatments for skin allergies that have less systemic impact.

Summary: Do not start Betnesol tablets without medical advice, as it may interfere with your tuberculosis treatment and overall health.

I'm really worried about my hair loss and I've been reading up on treatments for regrowth. Can you tell me what the best options are for getting my hair to grow back? Also, I'm curious about how successful these treatments typically are at actually regrowing hair. Will using a hair solution really make a difference?

I've got this dry, light brown patch under my eye, and the doctor suggested using fusidic acid and mometasone furoate cream. I'm a bit worried because my skin is really sensitive. Could this cream cause any additional problems? I've read some reviews and just want to make sure it's safe for me.

do not use that cream without doctors advice as it contains steroid,consume,vit B supplements and mineral rich foods taht would help you and also visit dermatologist for appropriate management
