Betnovate N Cream 20g

Betnovate-N Cream Uses

Betnovate-N cream is a topical corticosteroid used for the treatment of bacterial skin infections like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, etc. It contains Betamethasone Valerate and Neomycin as the active ingredients. Betamethasone Valerate is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with various skin conditions. It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation.

Neomycin is an antibiotic that helps kill the bacteria causing skin infections. It works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to the death of the bacteria.

These two ingredients combined, are effective in providing relief from skin inflammation, itching, and infection.
