Uveitis
Uveitis refers to inflammation of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid; the blood supply of the iris and ciliary body is the same iris ring, so the two are often inflamed at the same time, and the general term is iridocyclitis. If the choroid is also inflamed at the same time, it is called uveitis. Uveitis is an eye disease that often occurs in young and middle-aged people. There are many types of it, and the cause is quite complicated. Improper treatment can lead to blindness. It occupies an important position in blinding eye diseases and has attracted worldwide attention. Because its pathogenesis and recurrence mechanism are not fully understood, it is impossible to prevent it, and the treatment effect is also very unsatisfactory. Therefore, seeking reasonable and effective therapeutic drugs has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of ophthalmology.

For the treatment of dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Bursitis,Tenosynovitis, Peritendinitis
In acute subdeltoid, subacromial, olecranon, and prepatellar bursitis, one intrabursal injection of 1.0 mL Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate and Betamethasone Acetate Injectable Suspension can relieve pain and restore full range of movement. Several intrabursal injections of corticosteroids are usually required in recurrent acute bursitis and in acute exacerbations of chronic bursitis. Partial relief of pain and some increase in mobility can be expected in both conditions after one or two injections. Chronic bursitis may be treated with reduced dosage once the acute condition is controlled. In tenosynovitis and tendinitis, three or four local injections at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks between injections are given in most cases. Injections should be made into the affected tendon sheaths rather than into the tendons themselves. In ganglions of joint capsules and tendon sheaths, injection of 0.5 mL directly into the ganglion cysts has produced marked reduction in the size of the lesions.
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
Following intra-articular administration of 0.5 to 2.0 mL of Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate and Betamethasone Acetate Injectable Suspension, relief of pain, soreness, and stiffness may be experienced. Duration of relief varies widely in both diseases. Intra-articular Injection of Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate and Betamethasone Acetate Injectable Suspension is well tolerated in joints and periarticular tissues. There is virtually no pain on injection, and the "secondary flare" that sometimes occurs a few hours after intra-articular injection of corticosteroids has not been reported with Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate and Betamethasone Acetate Injectable Suspension. Using sterile technique, a 20- to 24-gauge needle on an empty syringe is inserted into the synovial cavity and a few drops of synovial fluid are withdrawn to confirm that the needle is in the joint. The aspirating syringe is replaced by a syringe containing Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate and Betamethasone Acetate Injectable Suspension and injection is then made into the joint. Recommended Doses for Intra-articular Injection Size of joint Location Dose (mL) Very large Hip 1.0-2.0 Large Knee, ankle, shoulder 1.0 Medium Elbow, wrist 0.5-1.0 Small Hand, chest 0.25-0.5 A portion of the administered dose of Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate and Betamethasone Acetate Injectable Suspension is absorbed systemically following intra-articular injection. In patients being treated concomitantly with oral or parenteral corticosteroids, especially those receiving large doses, the systemic absorption of the drug should be considered in determining intra-articular dosage.
