About Bzon Forte Tablet 10's

Bzon Forte Tablet 10's belongs to a class of medicines called corticosteroids (steroids that reduce swelling). Bzon Forte Tablet 10's is primarily used to reduce inflammation (swelling, redness, heat, and tenderness) in the body. Thus, it is used to improve different conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, severe allergic reactions, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLS) and polyarteritis nodosa (swollen arteries), inflammatory conditions of the skin, heart, kidney (like minimal change nephrotic syndrome or acute interstitial nephritis) and bowels (like ulcerative colitis-inflammation in the digestive tract or Crohn’s disease), certain conditions of the blood, some connective tissues diseases and some types of cancer such as malignant lymphoma.

BETAMETHASONE-1MGOther and unspecified infectious diseases
Severe
How does the disease interact with Bzon Forte Tablet:
Corticosteroids' immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties, especially when used in larger doses, have the potential to reduce host resistance to pathogens, impair the ability to localise infections, and disguise infection-related symptoms. Perhaps secondary infections are more likely to occur. In general, individuals with active infections—especially systemic fungal infections—should not be treated with corticosteroids.

How to manage the interaction:
Bzon Forte Tablet may lower the host resistance to infectious agents, decrease the ability to localize infections, and mask the symptoms of infection. Secondary infections may also develop. It should not be used in patients with active infections unless medically necessary.
BETAMETHASONE-1MGCarrier of infectious disease
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Bzon Forte Tablet:
Pharmacologic doses of corticosteroids may reactivate latent tuberculosis in people who have it or who are tuberculin-reactive. If corticosteroid medication is given to individuals with a history of TB or tuberculin reactivity, close monitoring for signs and symptoms of tuberculosis is advised. Consideration may be given to tuberculosis chemoprophylaxis when receiving prolonged corticosteroid medication.

How to manage the interaction:
Bzon Forte Tablet may cause a reactivation of the disease in patients with latent tuberculosis. It is advised to closely monitor for signs and symptoms of tuberculosis such as cough, tiredness, loss of appetite, and fever.
BETAMETHASONE-1MGFibrosis and cirrhosis of liver
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Bzon Forte Tablet:
Due to a reduced rate of metabolism, corticosteroids may have a greater impact on cirrhotic patients. Cirrhotic patients should have their cortisol levels constantly monitored. In some people, dosage modifications might be necessary.

How to manage the interaction:
Bzon Forte Tablet may have enhanced effects in patients with cirrhosis. Monitoring the condition of patients with cirrhosis is advised.
BETAMETHASONE-1MGDepressive episode
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Bzon Forte Tablet:
Psychotic and emotional instability symptoms may be increased severely by corticosteroids. During corticosteroid medication, patients with these disorders should be watched for any worsening or intensification of their symptoms.

How to manage the interaction:
Bzon Forte Tablet may elevate the symptoms of psychosis and emotional instability. Monitoring of patients with these conditions for increased or worsened symptoms is recommended.
BETAMETHASONE-1MGType 1 diabetes mellitus
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Bzon Forte Tablet:
By opposing the effect of insulin and inhibiting its secretion, corticosteroids can increase blood sugar levels. This inhibits peripheral glucose uptake and increases gluconeogenesis. Patients with diabetes mellitus, glucose intolerance, or a tendency for hyperglycemia should receive corticosteroid therapy with caution. During corticosteroid medication, patients with diabetes mellitus should be monitored more carefully, and their anti-diabetic regimen should be changed correspondingly.

How to manage the interaction:
Bzon Forte Tablet may raise blood glucose levels. Monitoring of blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes is advised.
BETAMETHASONE-1MGOther disorders of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Bzon Forte Tablet:
Hypernatremia, hypokalemia, and fluid retention are side effects of corticosteroids. Patients who already have electrolyte abnormalities should use corticosteroids with caution. Additionally, care should be taken while managing patients with seizure disorders since electrolyte imbalances might result in seizure activity.

How to manage the interaction:
Bzon Forte Tablet may cause fluid retention, low potassium, and high sodium levels. Caution is advised in patients with electrolyte disturbances.
BETAMETHASONE-1MGOedema, not elsewhere classified
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Bzon Forte Tablet:
Hypernatremia, hypokalemia, fluid retention, and an increase in blood pressure are all possible side effects of corticosteroids. Patients who already have fluid retention, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and/or renal impairment should use corticosteroids with caution. Potassium supplements and dietary salt control may be advised.

How to manage the interaction:
Bzon Forte Tablet may cause fluid retention, low potassium, high sodium levels, and elevated blood pressure. Caution is advised in patients with pre-existing fluid retention, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and/or kidney dysfunction.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Inflammation: It is a response generated by damage to living tissues. This response is a defence mechanism to protect the body from injury, infection, or disease. The symptoms of inflammation include redness, pain, swelling, heat, or loss of function. Inflammation can be caused due to certain medications, acute and chronic conditions, or exposure to foreign materials or irritants your body can’t eliminate easily.
