Betamethasone valerate 0.1% w/w + Clioquinol 3% w/w
Inflammatory skin conditions with suspected/confirmed bacterial or fungal infection such as infected eczema, dermatitis, intertrigo and infected psoriasis (short-term).
Betamethasone is a topical corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling and itching by suppressing inflammatory mediators. Clioquinol has antibacterial and antifungal activity against common skin pathogens, helping control infection.
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 1-2 times daily as advised; use the smallest amount for the shortest duration. Avoid use on face, groin or under occlusion unless prescribed; wash hands after application.
Common side effects of Betnovate C Cream may include:
Do not use on viral infections (herpes, chickenpox), acne or rosacea. Prolonged or extensive use, use on broken skin, or use under bandage can increase steroid absorption causing adrenal suppression; risk higher in children. Stop and seek medical advice if worsening, no improvement in 7 days, or signs of allergy. Avoid eyes and mucous membranes.
