1. Indications of Inflagic
The Betamethasone component is a synthetic medication belonging to the Glucocorticoid class, characterized by its significant anti-inflammatory effects and embodying the full features of a Glucocorticoid. Betamethasone exerts direct influence on the biosynthesis of Prostaglandins, thereby alleviating pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders.
The Dexchlorpheniramine component is classified as a first-generation antihistamine.

Currently, Dexchlorpheniramine is utilized in the management of allergic conditions such as dermatological allergies, allergic rhinitis, and contact allergies. Notably, Dexchlorpheniramine can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, potentially resulting in sedation or drowsiness in users.
