Celestoderm (Betamethasone Valerate) treats inflammatory and pruritic skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Its active ingredient is betamethasone valerate, a synthetic glucocorticoid and medium-potency topical corticosteroid. Celestoderm works by suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, reducing redness, swelling, and itching. It also decreases immune system activity in the treated area, relieving skin irritation, itching, and inflammation.

Clinical studies have shown that betamethasone valerate, like other topical corticosteroids, significantly reduces inflammation, itching, and redness associated with corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions. It is also well tolerated by most individuals. However, long-term or extensive use can lead to systemic absorption, potentially causing side effects like hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression and Cushing's syndrome, particularly in children. Safety during pregnancy and lactation, as well as in pediatric patients, is limited and should be approached cautiously (source).
