DESCRIPTION:
Cream: A white cream containing Betamethasone Valerate 0.12% w/w
(equivalent to
Betamethasone 0.1%) Methyl Paraben 0.08% w/w and Propyl Paraben 0.02%
w/w as
preservatives.
Ointment: A white ointment containing Betamethasone Valerate 0.12% w/w
(equivalent to
Betamethasone 0.1%).
ACTION: Betamethasone Valerate is a corticosteroid for topical
application and is available
as a cream or ointment. The affected area of skin is treated once or
twice daily. The
anti-inflammatory effect is enhanced by covering with an occlusive
dressing, but if large
areas are treated in this way, sufficient of the drug may be absorbed
to give rise to systemic
effects.
PHARMACOLOGY: The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical
corticosteroids is
determined by many factors including the vehicle, the integrity of the
epidermal barrier, and
the use of occlusive dressings. Topical corticosteroid can be absorbed
from normal intact
skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase
percutaneous
absorption. Occlusive dressings may be a valuable therapeutic adjunct
for treatment of
resistant dermatoses. Once absorbed through the skin, topical
corticosteroids are handled
through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered
corticosteroids.
Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees.
Corticosteroids are
metabolised primarily in the liver and are then excreted by the
kidney. Some of the topical
corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted into the bile.
INDICATIONS:
For
the
relief
of
the
inflammatory
manifestations
of
corticosteroid-
responsive
dermatoses
eg.
eczema
(atopic,
infantile,

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in
those patients with a
history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the
prep
