Betnovate contains the corticosteroid Betamethasone (0.1%), which is applied directly to the skin for quick relief. When your condition flares-up, you will likely experience dry, inflamed and itchy skin. This in turn causes the skin barrier to become damaged and increase the risk of allergens that cause further inflammation and irritation.
Betnovate Cream will target the skin cells to tackle this allergic response and reduce the release of inflammatory chemicals. This will then cause the redness, swelling and inflammation to subside.
The most common side effect is a feeling of pain, itching, irritation, or burning in the affected area. Side effects may vary from one person to the next, as with any medication. You should always read the manufacturer’s Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) before using or any other medication.
