Summary
Betamethasone is currently given routinely in conjunction with tonsillectomy surgery at the
majority of Ear, Nose & Throat clinics in Sweden. The scientific evidence regarding the
effects of betamethasone in adults is limited when it comes to postoperative nausea (PONV),
pain and postoperative bleeding.
