BackgroundBetamethasone-17-valerate is a high-potency
topical fluorinated corticosteroid with low systemic effects. It has been classified
as group D by Coopman et al. According the A-D grouping, patch-test reactions
occur 6-7 times more frequently within well-defined groups of structurally related
chemicals than between corticosteroids of different groups.
