FAQs

Betnovate-N Cream consists of Neomycin and Betamethasone. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Betamethasone works by blocking prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.

Betnovate-N Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If Betnovate-N Cream gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water. Do not put a bandage or a dressing on the affected area while using Betnovate-N Cream unless advised by the doctor. Do not apply Betnovate-N Cream on sunburns, open wounds, lesions and blisters.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Betnovate-N Cream based on the severity of your infection. It is advised to use Betnovate-N Cream only for the prescribed period since long-term usage of Betnovate-N Cream may cause increased hair growth and weakening and thinning of the skin.

Please seek a doctor's advice if you have any of these conditions.

About Betnovate-N Cream

Betnovate-N Cream is a dermatological medicine used to treat various bacterial skin infections. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria penetrate through hair follicles or broken skin and cause infection. Symptoms include redness, pain, and tenderness of the skin, minor bumps or boils, rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, swelling, stinging or burning sensation, pus formation, and itching.

Betnovate-N Cream contains Betamethasone and Neomycin. Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Thereby treats inflammation and itchiness caused by skin infections. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. 

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Betnovate-N Cream is for topical (for skin) use only. Common side effects of Betnovate-N Cream include itching, dryness, and a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in Betnovate-N Cream. Do not use Betnovate-N Cream on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Please do not cover the affected areas with a dressing or bandage since it increases the side effects. If Betnovate-N Cream gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or vagina, rinse with cold water. Betnovate-N Cream is not recommended for the treatment of diaper rash. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Betnovate-N Cream.

Medicinal Benefits

Betnovate-N Cream treats various bacterial skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin), and insect bites. Betnovate-N Cream also effectively treats prurigo nodularis (hard, itchy lumps on the skin), lichen simplex chronicus (scaling of the skin due to repetitive itching), lichen planus (swelling and irritation on the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes), seborrhoeic dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin mainly on the scalp), miliaria (prickly heat), anal and genital intertrigo (chaffing of the skin). Betnovate-N Cream consists of Betamethasone (corticosteroid) and Neomycin (antibiotic). Betamethasone blocks prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
