POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
A small quantity of Betnovate Scalp Application should be applied to
the scalp
night and morning until improvement is noticeable. It may then be
possible to
sustain improvement by applying once a day, or less frequently.
For topical application.
This product is flammable. Keep the liquid away from open fire and
flames and
all sources of ignition including smoking during application and
immediately after
use.
PAEDIATRIC POPULATION
Betamethasone valerate is contraindicated in children under one year
of age.
Children are more likely to develop local and systemic side effects of
topical
corticosteroids and, in general, require shorter courses and less
potent agents than
adults; therefore, courses should be limited to five days and
occlusion should not
be used.
Care should be taken when using betamethasone valerate to ensure the
amount
applied is the minimum that provides therapeutic benefit.
ELDERLY
Clinical studies have not identified differences in responses between
the elderly
and younger patients. The greater frequency of decreased hepatic or
renal function
in the elderly may delay elimination if systemic absorption occurs.
Therefore the
minimum quantity should be used for the shortest duration to achieve
the desired
clinical benefit.
RENAL / HEPATIC IMPAIRMENT
In case of systemic absorption (when application is over a large
surface area for a
prolonged period) metabolism and elimination may be delayed therefore
increasing the risk of systemic toxicity. Therefore the minimum
quantity should
be used for the shortest durati
