The description:

• Corticosteroids are medications used to reduce inflammation.
• Dermatitis occurs due to the release of various substances produced by the immune system.
• These substances cause blood vessels to dilate, causing the irritated area to become red, swollen, itchy, and painful, as seen in dermatitis or eczema.
• When betamethasone is applied to the skin it works by acting within the skin cells to reduce the release of inflammatory substances.
• This reduces swelling, redness and itching.
• There is a range of effectiveness for corticosteroids applied to the skin.
• Betamethasone valerate 0.1% is classified as a potent corticosteroid.
• It is prescribed to treat inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis that have not responded to weaker corticosteroids.
• Betnovate scalp application is thinner and easier to apply to the scalp than an ointment or cream. It is used to treat inflammatory disorders of the scalp.

How to use:

• Betnovate Scalp Treatment should be applied to the scalp twice a day (morning and evening) to begin with. Once your condition begins to improve, you should use it less frequently, as directed by your doctor.
• The liquid should be gently applied to the areas of the scalp that need treatment using the nozzle of the bottle. You can rub the liquid into your scalp if you wish, but allow it to dry naturally (do not use a hair dryer).
• Betamethasone will be left on the scalp - it should not be washed off.
• If you need to wash your hair, you should wash and dry your hair before applying to the scalp.
• Take care to avoid scalp application to the face or in the eyes, rinse with cold water if accidental contact occurs and avoid applying to broken skin.
