Overview

Betnovate 0.1% Cream contains Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% and is presented as a cream. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Apply a thin layer of Betnovate 0.1% Cream to the affected area as directed by your prescribing doctor, usually once or twice daily, and gently rub in until absorbed. Use only on the skin area specifically advised, avoid the eyes and mucous membranes, and do not apply more often or for longer than instructed.

Dosage

Treatment duration and frequency will be determined by the prescribing doctor based on the condition being treated and its location on the body; potent topical steroids like Betnovate 0.1% Cream are generally used for the shortest effective period, and extended continuous use, particularly on the face, groin, or in children, should only occur under close medical supervision.
