Alphatrex is a medication used to treat various skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rashes.
The active ingredient in Alphatrex is betamethasone, which belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids. Betamethasone works by reducing swelling, itching, and redness that can occur in these types of skin conditions.
Alphatrex is considered a strong corticosteroid, which means it has a potent anti-inflammatory effect.

Serious side effects (rare, but may require medical attention):
This is not an exhaustive list, and other side effects may occur. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects while taking Alphatrex, contact your healthcare provider for medical advice.
Inform your healthcare provider if you are allergic to betamethasone or other corticosteroids (hydrocortisone, prednisone) or any ingredients in Alphatrex.
Disclose any pre-existing medical conditions to your healthcare provider before using Alphatrex, especially:
Do not use it for infections. Alphatrex is not for use on infected or sore skin areas.
Using Alphatrex for a long time or on large skin areas can weaken your body's response to physical stress (surgery, illness, injury). Inform your healthcare provider about Alphatrex use before any medical or dental procedures, or if you experience a serious illness/injury.
Long-term use of Alphatrex may slow down a child's growth. Regular healthcare provider visits to monitor height are recommended.
Alphatrex should only be used during pregnancy when clearly necessary. Discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
It is unknown if betamethasone passes into breast milk. Consult your healthcare provider before breastfeeding.
