Product Overview

Betnovate Ointment is a topical medication used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. It contains betamethasone valerate, a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, itching, and swelling. The addition of neomycin provides antibacterial properties, helping to prevent infection in broken or damaged skin.

Key Benefits

• Reduces inflammation and itching
• Provides relief from skin conditions
• Prevents bacterial infections
• Fast-acting formula
• Soothes irritated skin

How It Works

Betnovate Ointment works by suppressing the immune response in the skin, which reduces inflammation and itching. The corticosteroid betamethasone valerate acts on the skin cells to decrease the release of inflammatory substances. Neomycin, an antibiotic, helps to kill bacteria on the skin's surface, preventing infection.

Directions for Use

1. Wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the ointment.
2. Gently rub the ointment into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
3. Use Betnovate Ointment as directed by your healthcare provider.
4. Wash your hands after applying the ointment to avoid spreading it to other areas.

Precautions

• Avoid using Betnovate Ointment on broken or infected skin.
• Do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing unless directed by your doctor.
• Limit sun exposure on the treated area as corticosteroids can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.
• Do not use Betnovate Ointment for longer than prescribed without consulting your healthcare provider.
