Summary

This completed study looked at 127 pregnant women who received betamethasone (Celesten) to prevent lung problems in their premature babies. Researchers measured how much of the drug crossed the placenta and checked if it reduced the risk or severity of hyaline membrane disease, a serious breathing condition in newborns. The goal was to better understand the link between drug levels and baby outcomes.
