Specifications

Description and Usage

Betnovate Lotion is a potent topical corticosteroid formulated to treat skin inflammation. It is specifically indicated for use in cases of atopic eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and psoriasis. It is also used to manage skin reactions resulting from insect bites and stings.

The active ingredient, Betamethasone valerate, works directly within the skin cells to interrupt the release of inflammatory substances. By suppressing these substances, the medication reduces the redness, swelling, and itching that typically accompany skin irritation. This helps to break the cycle of itching and scratching that can lead to further skin damage.

While the cream and ointment versions are suited for more concentrated or scaly areas, the lotion is designed for easier application, particularly in hairy areas or when a light, thin layer is required. Please use as directed by your healthcare professional.

Usage Guidelines:

• Apply a thin, even layer to the affected area once or twice daily as directed.
• Do not apply to broken or infected skin unless otherwise instructed.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and nose.
• For external use only; do not use as a daily moisturizer.

FAQ

Can I use Betnovate if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
It is recommended to consult your doctor before use. While topical application is generally safe, you should avoid applying it to large areas or underneath airtight dressings during pregnancy or breastfeeding to minimize absorption.

Who should avoid using Betnovate?
Betnovate is not licensed for children under one year of age. It should not be applied to skin affected by viral, bacterial, or fungal infections, or to acne and acne rosacea, unless directed by a professional.

What are the potential side effects?
When used sparingly and as directed, side effects are rare. However, prolonged use or application to large areas may lead to skin thinning, reduced pigmentation, or localized irritation. If you notice any changes in your vision or skin reactions, consult your doctor immediately.

Can Betnovate be used with other medicines?
If you are using other topical treatments, it is best to leave several minutes between applications to allow for absorption. If using a moisturizer, applying it 30 minutes before the Betnovate can help soften the skin and improve absorption.
