Betamil N Cream

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Betamil N Cream is a combination medicine that is used to treat various types of skin infections. It minimizes symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching. It also has an antimicrobial action against the infection-causing microorganisms.

Betamil N Cream is a combination of two medicines: Betamil N Cream1 and Betamil N Cream2 which treat skin infections.

Benefits of Betamil N Cream

In Treatment of Bacterial skin infections

Betamil N Cream is used to treat skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, severe insect bites, prickly heat, and other types of rash. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching and so helps prevent scratching that can further irritate the skin. Apply a thin layer of Betamil N Cream, once or twice a day, to affected areas of skin only. You may see an improvement in your skin within a week depending on the severity of your condition.

Side effects of Betamil N Cream

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Betamil N

  • Burning sensation
  • Itching

How to use Betamil N Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Betamil N Cream works

Betamil N Cream is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Neomycin. Betamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth on the skin by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

SAFE IF PRESCRIBED
Betamil N Cream is probably safe to use during breastfeeding. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent any significant risk to the baby.

Quick tips

  • Betamil N Cream is used for the treatment of bacterial skin infections.
  • It should be applied to the affected areas as a thin film, two or three times daily, or as advised by your doctor.
  • Do not use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. 
  • Do not apply it to broken skin and avoid getting it in your eyes, nose or mouth. 
  • Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
  • It may cause temporary burning, itching or a redness at application site. This is usually mild. Consult your doctor if you experience a more severe reaction.
  • Inform your doctor if your skin problem hasn't improved after seven days of treatment.
