Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Frequent urination is not a side effect of Betamethasone. I suggest you to get screened for that.
Here is what you should do

1. Monitor how frequently you are using the loo and also how much fluids you are taking. Frequent urination is common when one takes lots of water in the evenings and a drop in environmental temperature
2. Get a urine routine to test for urine infection and also get a blood sugar tested. Urine infection and diabetes are the most common reasons for frequent urination.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
