PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
A white cream base in collapsible aluminium tubes.
PHARMACODYNAMICS:
Betamethasone Valerate is used in dermatology for its
anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive
action on the skin. As Betamethasone Valerate is a flourinated
corticosteroid, it is metabolised more slowly
in the skin and tends to be systemically absorbed to a greater extent,
particularly to large areas of the body,
or under an occlusive dressing or when the skin is broken.
PHARMACOKINETICS :
Systemic absorbed drug is usually metabolised in the liver.
INDICATION
:
Bezone Cream is indicated for relief of acute or chronic inflammatory
manifestation of corticosteroid –
responsive dermatoses such as : localised neurodermatitis, psoriasis,
atopic or seborrheic dermatitis, the
inflammatory phase of xerosis, and anogenital pruritus. It is also
indicated in allergic contact dermatitis or
irritant dermatitis. In addition, the cream will cool and dry the
acute inflammatory and exudative lesions.
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE:
The cream is used topically.
Adults : the cream is applied to the affected area two to four times a
day.
Children: to be applied once a day.
Cream for occlusive dressing: gently rub a small amount of the cream
to the affected area until it
disappears. Re-apply the cream leaving a thin coating on the affected
area and covered by piece of
polyethylene sheet, or, for the hands and feet, polyethylene gloves or
bags. As much as possible, the air
between the skin and the polyethylene is expelled and the dressing
sealed with adhesive tape. This left up to
48 hours and if necessary, renewed after the skin has been gently
washed and dried.
