Betnovate Description
Betnovate is a steroid medicine used to reduce skin inflammation. It's mainly prescribed for eczema symptoms, but it can also help with psoriasis and dermatitis.
If you need help with a rash, have a chat with us about your health. One of our clinicians can review your symptoms and determine if Betnovate is a suitable choice for you.

What is Betnovate?

Betnovate has betamethasone as its active ingredient. It's part of a group of medicines known as corticosteroids, which are used to reduce inflammation. Betnovate is effective in treating rashes from eczema and dermatitis, as well as the flaking that comes with psoriasis.

Betnovate is available in several forms. You can choose from a cream, a lotion, or an ointment, all of which are applied to the skin. There's also a scalp application specifically for treating psoriasis on the scalp.

How does Betnovate work?

Betnovate is a corticosteroid, which is a type of steroid. It helps by calming down your immune system. Conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis occur when the immune system overreacts to things like allergens, and Betnovate helps manage these reactions.

This excessive reaction leads to ongoing inflammation, resulting in symptoms such as the rashes seen in eczema and the flaking associated with psoriasis. Corticosteroids, such as Betnovate, work by "turning off" certain genes that manage inflammation. This helps reduce swelling and allows the skin to heal.

What doses of Betnovate are there?

Betnovate is available in two strengths: the cream, ointment, lotion, and scalp solution each contain 0.1% of the active ingredient betamethasone.

Betnovate RD cream and ointment have a lower concentration of betamethasone at 0.025%. They're ideal for keeping your skin in check after Betnovate has helped improve it or for managing milder eczema.

How long does it take Betnovate to work?

You can usually notice the benefits of Betnovate within a few days. For scalp psoriasis, many people observe a significant improvement after just three days. If you've been using it for four weeks without any progress, it's a good idea to speak with our clinician. There may be a different treatment that works better for you.

What should I do if I make a mistake when using Betnovate?

If Betnovate accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them with water for ten minutes. Using too much Betnovate might make you feel unwell. If you notice any issues afterwards, it's important to seek medical help.

If you forget to apply Betnovate at your usual time, just do so as soon as you remember. Avoid using extra to compensate for the missed application.

Do I need a prescription for Betnovate?

Yes, you'll need a prescription for Betnovate. It's a strong corticosteroid, so a clinician must ensure it's safe and appropriate for you before prescribing it.

How is Betnovate different from other treatments for eczema?

Betnovate is much stronger than other corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone and clobetasone. This means it usually acts more quickly to reduce swelling. If you're experiencing severe symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, Betnovate might help ease your problems more swiftly. It's also a suitable choice if milder corticosteroids haven't been effective for you.

Is Betnovate similar to any other treatments?

Betnovate is a brand of betamethasone, but there are other brands like Betacap and Audavate. These different brands and generics can vary in how they look, their dosage, price, and form. While you might not have as many options with a generic, it could be more affordable. Ultimately, the choice is mostly yours.

Which version of Betnovate should I use?

The type of Betnovate you need depends on the location and size of the inflamed area. For issues on your scalp, opt for the scalp application. If the affected area is large, go for the lotion. For smaller areas, you can use either the cream or the ointment.

How effective is Betnovate?

Betnovate is a very effective treatment for eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It often provides faster relief and noticeable improvement more quickly compared to other corticosteroid treatments such as clobetasol.

This is probably because it's stronger than many other similar treatments.
