Betamethasone valerate (Betnovate, Celestone) is a moderately potent glucocorticoid steroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. It is a corticosteroid used as a topical cream to relieve skin irritation, such as itching and flaking from eczema. Betamethasone dipropionate and salicylic acid can be used as a treatment for local psoriasis. Betamethasone sodium phosphate is used orally and via injection with the same indications as other steroids.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
