Overview

CP Pharma Betamethasone Cream contains Betamethasone 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

This cream should only be used as directed by the prescribing doctor following an online consultation. Apply a thin layer to the affected area of skin, usually once or twice daily as prescribed, and gently rub in until absorbed, avoiding contact with the eyes, mouth, and broken or infected skin unless specifically instructed otherwise. Wash hands after application unless the hands are the area being treated.

Dosage

The amount and frequency of use will be determined by the prescribing doctor based on the condition being treated, its severity, and the area of skin affected, and should not be adjusted or continued beyond the prescribed duration without medical advice. Potent corticosteroid creams such as this are generally intended for short-term use on affected areas only, and long-term or widespread use should be closely monitored by a doctor.

Shelf Life

Do not use this cream after the expiry date stated on the tube or carton. Once opened, the cream should generally be used within the period advised by the pharmacist or as stated on the packaging, and any remaining product should be discarded after this time or if it shows signs of separation or discolouration.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C to 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Store out of the reach and sight of children, and do not use if the cream has been left open for an extended period or appears altered in texture or colour.

Side Effects

  • Skin thinning (when used topically)
  • Irritation or burning at application site
  • Increased appetite and weight gain
  • Mood changes or difficulty sleeping
  • Elevated blood sugar levels
  • Stomach upset or bloating
  • Delayed wound healing
  • Increased risk of infections

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to betamethasone or other corticosteroids
  • Untreated bacterial, viral, or fungal skin infections at the application site
  • Acne, rosacea, or perioral dermatitis (unless specifically directed by a doctor)
  • Broken skin, ulcers, or open wounds without medical guidance
  • Long-term continuous use on the face, groin, or armpits without close medical supervision

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Avoid using other topical steroid products on the same area at the same time unless directed by a doctor
  • Concurrent use of other immune-suppressing treatments may increase the risk of skin infection
  • Occlusive dressings or bandaging over treated skin should only be used if specifically advised, as this increases steroid absorption
  • No significant food interactions are relevant to a topical corticosteroid cream

Quick Tips

  • Use only as prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall
  • Apply a thin layer only to the affected area, not to healthy surrounding skin
  • Avoid prolonged use on the face, groin, or skin folds unless specifically directed
  • Do not use under airtight dressings unless instructed by your doctor
  • Report any worsening skin condition, thinning skin, or new symptoms to your doctor
  • Do not stop or restart treatment on your own without medical advice

Relevant Information

Potent topical corticosteroids like betamethasone are effective for controlling flare-ups of inflammatory skin conditions but are not intended for indefinite or unsupervised use, as prolonged application can lead to thinning of the skin and other local side effects, particularly on delicate areas such as the face and skin folds. Regular follow-up with the prescribing doctor helps ensure the treatment remains appropriate and is stepped down once the skin condition improves.
