Betaderm Z Cream 30 gm

Betaderm Z Cream is used to treat psoriasis and dermatitis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual, leading to skin build-up into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. Dermatitis is generally known as skin inflammation which is characterised by red, itchy, and swollen skin.

Betaderm Z Cream is a combination of two medicines, namely: Betamethasone and Zinc sulphate. Betamethasone works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness.
