How to Use Betnovate N Cream

Use Betnovate N Cream exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Apply only to the prescribed area and follow the recommended quantity and treatment duration.

Wash your hands before and after application, unless treating the hands themselves. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and other sensitive areas unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional. Do not cover the treated area with an airtight dressing unless advised.

Prolonged use, application to large areas or use on delicate skin can increase the risk of side effects. The product should not be used in children under two years of age. Children and patients with other medical conditions require appropriate professional guidance.

Possible Side Effects

Burning, stinging or irritation at the application site.

Dryness, itching or redness of the skin.

Allergic reactions, including contact dermatitis.

Skin thinning, stretch marks or changes in skin colour with prolonged or inappropriate use.

Increased risk of certain infections or delayed healing.

Stop using the cream and seek medical advice if irritation worsens, the infection spreads or the condition does not improve. Seek urgent medical attention for severe allergic reactions or significant vision changes.
