WHAT BETA CREAM
OR OINTMENT IS USED
FOR
Your BETA Cream or Ointment
contains the active ingredient
betamethasone valerate. It belongs to
a group of medicines known as topical
corticosteroids. “Topical” means that
they are applied onto the skin. Topical
corticosteroids are used to help
reduce the inflammation that causes
the redness and itchiness in a variety
of conditions (they are not ‘anabolic’
steroids which are sometimes
misused by athletes).
BETA Cream or Ointment is useful
in treating various inflamed
conditions of the skin such as:

psoriasis

severe forms of eczema

lichen planus (chronic itchy
skin of unknown origin)

discoid lupus
erythematosus (recurring
scaly rash)

prickly heat skin reaction

insect bite reactions

prurigo nodularis (an itching
and thickening of the skin
with lumps or nodules)

contact sensitivity reactions

an additional treatment for
an intense widespread
reddening and inflammation
of the skin
when milder topical corticosteroids
cannot treat the skin condition
effectively.
BETA Cream is usually used to treat
skin conditions on moist surfaces;
BETA Ointment is usually used to
treat skin conditions on dry, scaly
skin.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS
MEDICINE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED

Apply thinly and gently rub in using only enough to cover the entire
affected area once or twice daily
for up to 4 weeks until improvement occurs, then reduce the frequency
of the application or change
the treatment to a less potent preparation. Allow adequate time for
absorption after each application
before applying an emollient.

BETA ointment for dry,
lichenified or scaly lesions, but this is not invariably so.

treatment area with polythene
film. Overnight occlusio
