  • Title: Adrenal suppression with intranasal betamethasone drops.
    Author: Flynn MD, Beasley P, Tooke JE.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1992 Sep; 106(9):827-8. PubMed ID: 1431525.
    Abstract:
    Intranasal betamethasone sodium phosphate drops (Betnesol) are frequently used to relieve nasal congestion due to polyposis. We report a case of significant hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal suppression secondary to the long-term use of intranasal betamethasone drops. This case emphasizes that the topical application of potent corticosteroids may produce systemic effects.
