What is Betnovate?
Betnovate is a topical steroid treatment that is used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It contains the active ingredients betamethasone valerate, a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching.
It comes in different forms including cream, ointment, lotion, and scalp application. Betnovate Cream and Ointment are typically used on the body. For eczema or dermatitis on the scalp, consider using specific scalp treatments like Betnovate Scalp Application, Betacap Solution, or Elocon Scalp Lotion instead of the cream or ointment.
How does Betnovate work?
Skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis occur when the skin becomes irritated and inflamed, leading to symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching. This happens as the body immune system reacts to triggers such as allergens or irritants.
Betnovate contains betamethasone valerate, an anti-inflammatory medicine. When applied to the skin, it reduces inflammation and calms irritation. This helps relieve symptoms like redness and itching associated with eczema and psoriasis.
Betnovate alternatives
While Betnovate is an effective treatment for eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions, it may not be suitable for everyone. In such cases, your doctor may recommend other topical corticosteroids, such as:
- Betamethasone cream & Ointment
- Eumovate (clobetasone butyrate)
- Hydrocortisone Cream
- Elocon (mometasone furoate)
- Fucidin H Cream
- Dermovate (clobetasol propionate)
Betnovate ingredients
The active ingredient in Betnovate is betamethasone valerate.
In addition to the active ingredient, Betnovate Cream and Betnovate Ointment contain different inactive ingredients:
-

Directions
How to use Betnovate Cream & Ointment
Both Betnovate Cream and Betnovate Ointment are applied in much the same way. For best results, follow these steps:
- Gently wash and pat dry the skin where the cream or ointment will be applied.
- Squeeze a small amount of the Betnovate onto your fingertip and apply a thin layer to the affected area. Avoid using excessive amounts.
- Rub it gently into the skin until it is absorbed.
- After application, wash your hands thoroughly to avoid accidental contact with other areas, such as your eyes.
Use Betnovate as directed by your doctor, typically once or twice a day, depending on the severity of your condition. If you do not notice any improvement after 7 days, talk to your GP or pharmacist.
