About BETAMIL CREAM

BETAMIL CREAM belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids primarily used to prevent allergies including swelling, itching redness, heat, and pain caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). The swelling of the skin occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.

BETAMIL CREAM is a steroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.

Use BETAMIL CREAM as prescribed. You are advised to use BETAMIL CREAM for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. BETAMIL CREAM is for external use only. Avoid contact of BETAMIL CREAM with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case BETAMIL CREAM comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience skin redness, inflamed hair follicles, itching, blistering, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of BETAMIL CREAM do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to BETAMIL CREAM or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using BETAMIL CREAM. Do not use BETAMIL CREAM in more than prescribed doses, or on a large area of skin for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor.  Avoid using BETAMIL CREAM for more than 5 days in children and on the face. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with BETAMIL CREAM catches fire and burns easily. If you have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, adrenal gland or liver problems, or had a skin reaction to a steroid medicine in the past, inform your doctor before taking BETAMIL CREAM.
