More Information Before You Buy Betnovate Cream
-
Generic Name: Betnovate
Indication
Betnovate cream and ointment are often indicated for treating and preventing inflammatory skin disorders, such as eczema and psoriasis. Before you buy Betnovate cream, it is important to understand that the medication contains Betamethasone Valerate as its active ingredient. It is a prescription-only medication specifically formulated to relieve skin inflammation, itchiness, redness, and swelling.
Mechanism of Action
Betnovate ointment 100g and Betnovate cream are available in different formulations. The topical corticosteroid medication contains the active ingredient Betamethasone Valerate. The active ingredient will reduce the inflammatory response of the skin cells due to exposure to the allergens. The skin cells will release inflammatory chemicals when exposed to allergens, causing skin inflammation, itchiness, and irritation. Betnovate cream prevents skin cells from releasing such chemicals, healing the symptoms of eczema and psoriasis.
Application and Administration
It is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before using Betnovate cream for eczema treatment. Make sure to read the patient information leaflet thoroughly for effective treatment. A typical application of Betnovate cream involves applying the cream evenly to the affected skin areas two times a day. Betnovate cream is suitable for moist skin areas, while Betnovate ointment is suitable for dry skin areas. Avoid applying Betnovate cream and ointment around the eyes, nose, or mouth.
Efficacy
Betnovate cream is a highly effective and powerful solution to treat eczema, psoriasis, and inflammatory skin conditions. As betamethasone (the active ingredient) is stronger than other treatment creams for eczema, Betnovate cream is usually prescribed when other over-the-counter medications fail. Betnovate cream can relieve skin inflammation and irritation within 24 hours of applying the cream over the affected area.
Side Effects
Similar to other medications, Betnovate cream has several side effects. The most common side effects of Betnovate cream and ointment are as follows:
