Betnovate N Cream

Betnovate-N Cream is 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, 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.

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.
