Betnovate-C cream is used to treat various skin conditions, such as dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, and allergic contact dermatitis. It is a combination medicine containing betamethasone and clioquinol as the active ingredients. Betamethasone is a steroid that helps reduce the skin’s redness and itchiness. Clioquinol helps reduce skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi.
Use Betnovate-C exactly as your doctor prescribed. It is meant for external applications only. Do not ingest it. Apply a thin layer of Betnovate-C cream and gently rub it in to cover the affected area. Do not apply this cream to a larger skin area or for more than the prescribed duration. You should keep the affected area clean and avoid touching, scraping, or rubbing the affected skin.
Before starting treatment with Betnovate-C cream, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding and about your detailed medical history. Also, notify the doctor of all other topical medicines you use.
