message: There is no H in 9, 10, 13, 17 positions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.71.87 (talk) 16:38, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the "hydro" part of the name means that there is no double bond (modification of the "phenanthren" parent structure), and then the structure is modified further by, for example, replacing H9 with F (the usual meaning of "fluoro"). Without the "hydro" part, position 9 would exceed its octet. Working from the parent structure back towards  the beginning of the name, each modifies the previous result. There are other systematic approaches that are not as confusing sometimes. For example, "(11β,16β)-9-fluoro-11,17,21-trihydroxy-16-methylpregna-1,4-​diene-3,20-dione" (systematic name according to ChemSpider) uses a parent structure that does not have to be modified two ways at the same place.

message: I've made brief mention of Celestamine, a brand name for Betamethasone produced by Schering-Plough.  But are they exactly the same, or does Celestamine have additional ingredients?  I'm not sure. drugs-about.comprescription-drugs-information.com - Celestamine F  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onanoff (talk • contribs) 13:50, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

message: While I agree with the inclusion of the paragraph about using betamethasone cream as a 1st-line treatment of paediatric phimosis, it seems odd that 5 of the 6 referenced sources for the article are devoted to supporting that 2-sentence paragraph, while most of the article's information remains unreferenced.
I'd suggest paring down the circ refs to the 2-3 best ones, and adding new references to support other parts of the artilce. DoctorEric (talk) 17:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I was just injected with 12 mg of this medication for such a condition.  I find it interesting that no mention is made of this usage, since corticosteroid injections seem to be a major tool in combating back pain/injury. Huw Powell (talk) 05:47, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
