[|Human|] Hi, I am 33 weeks + 5 days pregnant having GDM. But levels are under control with 2-3-1 units of Insulin (2 units before breaksfast, 3 units before lunch and 1 unit before dinner).. Today my gyne adviced me to take Betnosol injection (2 doses of 12 mg each with the gap of 24 hrs).. Why is this?
[|AI|]  Hi, Betnesol is used to speed up lung development in premature babies. Benson is a steroid which is commonly prescribed to prevent lung problems in babies who are born between 29 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.  It helps to produce surfactant in the babies lungs, allowing them to inflate without sticking together. Normally, babies do not make this surfactant on their own until much later in pregnancy, around 32-35 weeks. Giving steroid injections into the mother at least 24 hours prior to a premature birth improves the babies ability to breathe normally. Take it as prescribed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
