Betnovate 0.1% scalp lotion 30 ml

Betnovate

Each 100 ml of lotion contains:

Betamethasone valerate 0.122 g (equivalent to Betamethasone 0.1 g)

Auxiliary components:

Carbomer, isopropyl alcohol, sodium hydroxide, purified water.

Betamethasone has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects by inhibiting the release of cytokines and inflammatory mediators, reducing the metabolism of arachidonic acid, inducing the formation of lipocortins with anti-edematous activity, and reducing vascular permeability.

Microdispersion of this glucocorticosteroid (GCS) in a non-greasy, odorless, non-marking, easy-to-rinse base provides effective skin penetration and rapid onset of action.

Steroid-sensitive scalp dermatoses such as psoriasis, scalp seborrhea, inflammation associated with severe dandruff.
