Good morning.
In March (03.03) I took the first dose of Diprohos as a shoulder joint blockade.
On 20.03 I had blood tests which indicate a lower number of leukocytes in the blood. Could Diprophos have affected the results?
Thank you in advance for your answer

Yes, Diprophos (betamethasone) is a glucocorticoid that can affect blood parameters, including temporarily lowering the number of leukocytes, especially lymphocytes and eosinophils. At the same time, it can cause the displacement of some blood cells from the bloodstream to the tissues, which also affects the results of the complete blood count.
If the decrease in leukocytes is significant or accompanied by other worrying symptoms, it is worth consulting your doctor.
