Betnovate Scalp Application 100ml

Betnovate Scalp Application is a medicine that contains betamethasone valerate, a steroid that helps to reduce the redness and itchiness of certain scalp problems, such as psoriasis and dermatitis. It is used to treat steroid responsive dermatoses of the scalp, such as psoriasis, seborrhoea capitis, and inflammation associated with severe dandruff.

Here are some important points to note before using Betnovate:

• Do not use Betnovate if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to betamethasone valerate or any of the other ingredients of Betnovate.
• Do not use it on a child under 1 year.
• Be careful if you are applying the liquid under an airtight dressing. These dressings make it easier for the active ingredient to pass through the skin.
• If you have psoriasis, your doctor will want to see you more often.
• Be cautious if you are applying the liquid to broken skin or within the skin folds.
• Use on children should be limited to 5 days.

You usually apply Betnovate to your scalp in the morning and at night. This may be reduced as your scalp problem begins to get better. Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.

Please consult with your doctor or pharmacist for more information and before starting any new medication.
