Severe
How does the disease interact with Sternon Gel 20gm:
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:
Sternon Gel 20gm 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-0.05% W/WCarrier of infectious disease
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Sternon Gel 20gm:
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:
Sternon Gel 20gm 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-0.05% W/WFibrosis and cirrhosis of liver
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Sternon Gel 20gm:
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:
Sternon Gel 20gm may have enhanced effects in patients with cirrhosis. Monitoring the condition of patients with cirrhosis is advised.

How does the disease interact with Sternon Gel 20gm:
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:
Sternon Gel 20gm may elevate the symptoms of psychosis and emotional instability. Monitoring of patients with these conditions for increased or worsened symptoms is recommended.

BETAMETHASONE-0.05% W/WType 1 diabetes mellitus
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Sternon Gel 20gm:
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:
Sternon Gel 20gm may raise blood glucose levels. Monitoring of blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes is advised.

BETAMETHASONE-0.05% W/WOther disorders of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Sternon Gel 20gm:
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:
Sternon Gel 20gm may cause fluid retention, low potassium, and high sodium levels. Caution is advised in patients with electrolyte disturbances.

How does the disease interact with Sternon Gel 20gm:
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.
