Question
Upto now I was using Diprovate ( Betamethasone ) Recently my pcp gave me a sample which contains zinc with betamethasone Does zinc potentiate betamethasone What is the uitlity
I would need to know exactly what your doctor gave you in order to determine what the function of the zinc is in the preparation. There are a few possibilities that you could have been given and the function of zinc in each is very different. Please supply me with the name of the product and then I will be able to help you with your question.
Thanks
