Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
In controlled clinical trials, involving 242 adult subjects, the adverse reaction associated with the use of Betamethasone - Behvazan 001% cream, 0.5% (augmented)reported at a frequency of 0.4% was stinging. It occurred in 1 subject.
