Description
What is the Betnovate Scalp Application?
Betnovate Scalp Application is a prescription scalp preparation used to relieve the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis on the scalp. Its active ingredient is the corticosteroid Betamethasone valerate (0.1%), which has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
How does it work?
It should be applied to the affected area showing the signs, e.g. itching, redness etc. Betamethasone is a very potent steroid that relieves pain and inflammation more effectively than the commonly used treatments. It is absorbed locally and causes the blockage of some mediators of the inflammatory process.
Is the Betnovate Scalp Application suitable for me?
This application should not be used routinely. If the skin is dry, you should use emollients or moisturizers too.
DO NOT use:
- If you are allergic to betamethasone or any of the other ingredients contained in the solution
- on infected skin
- on fragile or thinning skin
