Product Details
Betnovate-N Cream 30 g is a prescription topical medicine containing betamethasone valerate 0.1% w/w and neomycin sulfate 0.5% w/w. Betamethasone valerate is a topical corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, itching, and redness, while neomycin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that helps control susceptible bacterial infection. The cream is intended for inflammatory skin conditions in which bacterial infection is present or considered a concern. According to the supplied information, these may include eczema, nummular dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, lichen simplex chronicus, certain forms of psoriasis, lichen planus, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, reactions to insect bites, prickly heat, and selected cases of otitis externa or intertrigo when medically appropriate. A thin layer is usually applied once or twice daily for up to 7 days under medical supervision. Treatment should not be prolonged, particularly over large areas, because both the corticosteroid and neomycin may be absorbed and cause unwanted effects. This medicine is for external use only and should be used strictly according to the prescribing physician's instructions.
