Betnovate Cream (betamethasone)

Indications

• Betnovate Cream is prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
• It helps to reduce itching, redness, swelling, and discomfort associated with these skin conditions.

Dosage and Administration

• Wash your hands before and after applying Betnovate Cream.
• Cleanse the affected area with a mild soap and water, then pat dry before applying the cream.
• Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected skin areas once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor.
• Gently massage the cream into the skin until it is absorbed.
• Use Betnovate Cream sparingly and avoid excessive use to minimize the risk of side effects.

• Do not use Betnovate Cream for longer than prescribed, as prolonged use may increase the risk of side effects.

Mechanism of Action

Betnovate Cream contains Betamethasone, which is a corticosteroid medication. It works by reducing inflammation, suppressing the immune response, and constricting blood vessels in the skin, thereby alleviating symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions.
