Hi thank for writing to Practo consult.
Betnesol inj only 2 inj at this time of pregnancy is at times given for ba ies LUNG MATURATION, if there is a risk of premature labour and delivery, so as to protect babies wellbeing. The side effect you came across should not occur with only 2 dose. Also if premature baby is born, it will have note serious outcome otherwise.
