How Betamethasone Valerate cream works
Betnovate cream contains the active ingredient betamethasone valerate o.1% – a potent corticosteroid, which is a type of component created to reducing skin inflammation. Skin inflammation may occur as a result of an allergic reaction, or irritation of the skin. It is caused by the immune system releasing substances that make blood vessels in the skin widen. This makes the irritated area become red, swollen, itchy and painful, as is seen in dermatitis or eczema.
When Betnovate Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% cream is applied to the skin it acts inside cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances – this reduces swelling, redness and itching. The cream is prescribed to treat various inflammatory skin disorders that have not responded to milder corticosteroids. Betnovate Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% cream is suitable for moist, weeping areas of skin, dry, scaly areas of skin, hairy areas, or when a minimal application to a large area of skin is needed.
