Indications:

This cream is primarily indicated for the treatment of superficial infections caused by both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.

Additionally, it may be used alongside systemic steroid therapy for specific types of pyoderma.

Pharmacology

• Betamethasone: This active topical corticosteroid rapidly addresses inflammatory dermatoses and various types of skin diseases, including psoriasis.
• Neomycin Sulfate: A topical broad-spectrum bactericidal amino-glycoside effective against various gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens, such as Proteus vulgaris and Staphylococcus aureus. It demonstrates effective penetration and distribution, making it suitable for application in areas with hair or skin folds. It is particularly useful in treating moist skin ulcerations.

Dosage & Administration:

• Adults: Apply a thin layer to affected skin areas 3 to 4 times daily. For chronic conditions, treatment withdrawal involves reducing application frequency until the cream is used as infrequently as once a week, as directed by a physician.
• Children: Avoid use in children under 1 year of age. Treatment duration for children should typically not exceed 5 days unless otherwise advised by a physician.

No significant drug interactions have been reported with Betamethasone Valerate BP and Neomycin Sulphate BP Cream/Ointment.

Contraindications

Precautions & Warnings
