Betnovate 0.10% Lotion is a topical medication used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It contains betamethasone valerate 0.1% as the active ingredient, which is a type of corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and redness.
The lotion is applied to the affected area of the skin in a thin layer once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. It should not be used for a prolonged period or on large areas of the skin without consulting a doctor, as this may cause skin thinning and other side effects.
The common side effects of Betnovate lotion include skin irritation, itching, burning, and dryness. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, it is important to contact a healthcare professional. It is also important to avoid using Betnovate lotion on broken or infected skin, as this may increase the risk of side effects and complications.
