Betnovate N Cream 20 gm is a dermatological medicine used to treat various bacterial skin infections. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria penetrate through hair follicles or broken skin and cause infection. Symptoms include redness, pain, and tenderness of the skin, minor bumps or boils, rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, swelling, stinging or burning sensation, pus formation, and itching.
Betnovate N Cream 20 gm contains Betamethasone and Neomycin. Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Thereby treats inflammation and itchiness caused by skin infections. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Betnovate N Cream 20 gm is for topical (for skin) use only. Common side effects of Betnovate N Cream 20 gm include itching, dryness, and a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Please do not cover the affected areas with a dressing or bandage since it increases the side effects. If Betnovate N Cream 20 gm gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or vagina, rinse with cold water.
