What is Betnovate RD cream?
Betnovate RD Cream is a milder version of Betnovate cream, used to treat skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Its active ingredient is betamethasone valerate. The "RD" stands for Reduced Dilution, meaning it contains a lower strength of betamethasone valerate (0.025%), making it suitable for sensitive areas or long-term use. It helps relieve inflammation, itching, and redness.
How does Betnovate RD work?
Betnovate RD Cream contains betamethasone valerate, a corticosteroid that targets the root cause of inflammation. When the skin is irritated or exposed to allergens, the immune system releases chemicals that cause blood vessels to expand, resulting in redness, swelling, and itching. This cream works by suppressing the release of those chemicals, helping to reduce flare-ups and soothe the affected skin.
