Benicort 0.5 MG Oral Drops 15 ML contain betamethasone (0.5 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Binds with cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors: Betamethasone forms a complex with these receptors in your body's cells.

• Moves to cell nucleus: The betamethasone-receptor complex then moves into the cell nucleus - this is the part of the cell that contains its DNA.

• Interacts with DNA: Once inside the nucleus, the complex binds with specific parts of the DNA known as glucocorticoid response elements.

• Changes protein production: This binding process leads to an increase in anti-inflammatory proteins being produced while decreasing the production of proteins that lead to inflammation.

• Reduces inflammation: This overall process reduces inflammation and immune responses in your body, helping manage various conditions effectively.
