Composition of Betnovate Skin Cream

Uses of Betnovate Skin Cream
- Steroid-responsive inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema
- Dermatitis
- Allergic rashes
- Insect-bite reactions (short-term)
Benefits of Betnovate Skin Cream
- In Eczema
- Betnovate Skin calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
- In Dermatitis
- Betnovate Skin settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
- In Psoriasis
- Betnovate Skin reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
- In Skin inflammation and itching
- Betnovate Skin relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
How Betnovate Skin Cream works
Betamethasone is a topical corticosteroid that decreases release of inflammatory mediators in skin. This reduces redness, swelling and itching and helps calm flare-ups.
How to take Betnovate Skin Cream
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 1-2 times daily as prescribed. Use the lowest effective amount for the shortest duration; avoid face, groin and underarms unless advised; avoid eyes and wash hands after application.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Betnovate Skin Cream
Most side effects of Betnovate Skin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Burning
- stinging
- irritation
- dryness
- skin thinning
- stretch marks
- folliculitis
- acneiform eruptions
- hypopigmentation
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Quick tips for Betnovate Skin Cream
- Apply a thin layer.
- A fingertip's worth covers an area about the size of two adult palms.
- Use a plain moisturiser generously alongside it; that is what keeps eczema away between flares.
- Ask your doctor for a written plan of how long to use it and when to step down.
