Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

What is Betamethasone Valerate cream?   

Betamethasone Cream, also known as, Betamethasone Valerate 0.1, is specifically prescribed to alleviate symptoms like itching, inflammation, and irritation of the skin. They are particularly effective in managing conditions such as eczema, contact dermatitis, and psoriasis.  

In comparison to milder options like hydrocortisone skin creams, betamethasone is considered a potent treatment, typically recommended when other medications have proven ineffective. 

Betamethasone is classified as a steroid, specifically a topical corticosteroid. In some cases, betamethasone may be combined with an antibiotic called fusidic acid to address bacterial skin infections. 

 

How does Betamethasone cream & Betamethasone Ointment work? 

Skin inflammation can occur due to various factors, often triggered by allergies or skin irritations. In response to inflammation, the immune system releases a range of chemicals that cause blood vessels to expand, leading to symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling.  

Betamethasone, when applied topically, directly targets the cells involved in the inflammatory process. It effectively reduces the production of these inflammatory processes, resulting in the alleviation of skin swelling and redness.

Betamethasone Valerate cream & ointment is versatile and can be used to address different types of skin inflammations, including those caused by allergies, irritants, insect stings, bites, and other rash-including factors. 

  

What are the benefits of using Betamethasone cream & Betamethasone Ointment?

Betamethasone cream & Betamethasone Ointment are highly effective in mitigating skin inflammation resulting from irritants, allergies, bodily reactions to insect stings and bites, as well as rashes associated with other skin conditions. Its efficiency lies in its ability to suppress the production of inflammatory chemicals responsible for manifestations of redness and swelling of the skin.

How to use Betamethasone cream & Betamethasone ointment

Strictly follow the instructions of your doctor on how to use Betamethasone for your skin condition. Also, read and follow the patient information leaflet that comes with the medication package. 

Betamethasone cream should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected area of the skin. Betamethasone should be used less frequently as soon as the skin condition begins to improve. 

Do not apply Betamethasone to infected or broken areas of the skin, unless you are also treating the infection. Do not apply Betamethasone to the facial skin unless you are instructed by your doctor to do so. Do not apply Betamethasone around the eyes or eyelids. 

Avoid getting Betamethasone cream or ointment in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If an accidental application occurs, immediately wash the area with cold water. 

  Thoroughly wash your hands before you start and after you apply the medication unless your hands are being treated.

Do not use airtight dressings to cover the area being treated, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. Airtight dressings or bandages will increase the body to absorb more of the medicine, increasing the possibility of side effects. If you are going to use Betamethasone under dressings as instructed by your doctor, cleanse the skin before the application of Betnovate before applying the medicine under a fresh dressing. Nappies and waterproof pants can act as an airtight dressing and increase the body’s absorption of the medicine.

Discontinue the use of Betamethasone if your skin condition does not improve after two weeks of treatment. Consult your doctor immediately. 

If the area of the skin being treated with Betamethasone becomes infected, stop the treatment and see your doctor. 

Betamethasone cream is used for weeping and moist surfaces. Betamethasone lotion is used for the treatment of hairy areas of the skin, and scaly, dry, and lichenified lesions of the skin.

Apply Betamethasone thinly and rub gently using enough amounts to cover the entire area of the affected skin once or twice daily for up to four weeks until improvements are observed. The frequency of the application should be changed or reduced to a less potent preparation after the fourth week.

Betamethasone can be combined with other beneficial ingredients to deliver antibiotic, antibacterial, and antifungal treatments. It can be combined with Betamethasone C and Fucibet. The combined formulas can be used for the treatment in conjunction with infections.

Some Betamethasone medications contain antibacterial ingredients such as neomycin and Clioquinol. There are also those that contain antifungal ingredients such as clotrimazole. These treatments may be prescribed for short-term use if you are also suffering from an infection. These treatments should be applied twice daily for no longer than a week.

The vast majority of individuals who utilize Betamethasone cream and ointment generally do not experience any side effects. However, it is important to note that some users may encounter unwanted side effects, particularly with prolonged use of the medication.
 
To minimize the risk of adverse effects such as skin thinning and excessive hair growth, it is advised not to use Betamethasone for extended periods of time. Moreover, it is generally not recommended for use on children, except in cases where a dermatologist prescribes short courses of treatment, typically not exceeding two weeks.
 
When using Betamethasone, it is crucial to inform your doctor about any other medications you are currently using, especially other corticosteroid medications. If you are using additional topical medications alongside Betamethasone, it is advisable to leave a few minutes between applications to allow proper absorption of each product.
 
Furthermore, if you are applying a moisturizer to your skin, it is recommended to do so 30 minutes before applying Betamethasone for optimal effectiveness.
