Betamethasone Celestone corresponds to which drug?

• A. Dexamethasone
• B. Hydrocortisone
• C. Methylprednisolone
• D. Betamethasone

Answer: (D)

Celestone is the brand name for betamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid. This question is about remembering brand-to-generic mappings for corticosteroids. Betamethasone and dexamethasone are both potent glucocorticoids but are distinct drugs; hydrocortisone is a different, less potent natural corticosteroid; methylprednisolone is another separate glucocorticoid. Since Celestone corresponds specifically to betamethone, that is the correct match.
