The effects of intracutaneous injections of preparations of equal parts of betamethasone disodium phosphate and betamethasone acetate (Celestone Chronodose®) and triamcinolone acetonide (Kenacort-A®) on plasma cortisol levels were studied. Significant suppression of plasma cortisol lasting from 3 to 13 days was observed with various doses of the first preparation. With triamcinolone acetonide, there was only a mild and transient suppression.
