Overview
Drug | Cream
Uses & Benefits
Inflammatory skin conditions with suspected/confirmed bacterial or fungal infection such as infected eczema, dermatitis, intertrigo and infected psoriasis (short-term).
How It Works
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.
Directions for Use
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.
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.
Drug Interactions
Other topical corticosteroids or occlusive dressings increase systemic absorption; concomitant use with other topical irritants may increase local irritation.
