What are the side effects of Betaderm Scalp Lotion (Betamethasone Valerate)?
Side effects of using Betaderm Scalp Lotion may include mild burning, redness, dryness, or peeling at the treated scalp areas. It is possible that the condition being treated with this drug could initially get slightly worse before it gets better.
More serious side effects are unlikely but may include tingling, skin thinning, or blisters in the treated areas; insomnia, fatigue, muscle puffiness or soreness, vision problems, mood changes, vomiting, diarrhea, or weight gain.
