About Betzee Cream 15 gm

Betzee Cream 15 gm belongs to the class of medications called ‘dermatological agents’ used to treat eczema, contact dermatitis and psoriasis. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up and itchy.

Betzee Cream 15 gm is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Zinc. Betamethasone is a steroid and anti-inflammatory agent that blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy). It also helps to reduce immune response, thereby controlling inflammation. Zinc acts as an antiseptic (prevents microbe's growth) and astringent (contracts the skin cells) on the skin.

Betzee Cream 15 gm is for external (for skin) use only. You should use this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Betzee Cream 15 gm are redness, inflamed hair follicles, itching, and blistering at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Betzee Cream 15 gm if you are allergic to any contents of it, or developed any skin irritation or other reaction to steroids in the past. Before taking Betzee Cream 15 gm, inform your doctor if you have skin atrophy (thinning of the skin) at the treatment site, diabetes, adrenal gland problems, liver problems and eye problems such as cataract (clouding of the eye) or glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye). Betzee Cream 15 gm should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Betzee Cream 15 gm is not recommended for use in children below 13 years of age. Betzee Cream 15 gm should be used with caution in elderly patients. Betzee Cream 15 gm may not affect your ability to drive.
