Betnovate Scalp Application 0.1% is a topical corticosteroid solution used to manage inflammatory scalp conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and seborrhoeic dermatitis. Formulated specifically for the scalp, it provides effective relief from itching, flaking, and inflammation in hair-covered areas, which can be difficult to treat with creams or ointments.

How It Works
Betamethasone valerate 0.1% is a potent steroid that suppresses the immune reactions responsible for skin inflammation. It reduces the production of inflammatory chemicals, helping to ease redness, swelling, and irritation. The alcohol-based solution penetrates the scalp efficiently, especially in hairy areas, and dries rapidly after application without leaving a greasy film or residue in the hair.

Why Choose Betnovate Scalp Application
Betnovate Scalp Application offers targeted relief for chronic and acute flare-ups of scalp conditions. Its quick-drying, non-greasy formulation ensures ease of use and minimal disruption to daily grooming routines. The product is particularly helpful for patients with scalp psoriasis or seborrhoeic dermatitis who require a strong yet convenient treatment. It is dispensed through a precision nozzle for accurate application and minimal waste.

Important Note
Betnovate Scalp Application should be used only as prescribed and not applied to the face, eyes, or broken skin. Prolonged use or overuse may lead to side effects such as skin thinning or adrenal suppression. Avoid using under occlusive dressings or in excessive quantities. Due to its alcohol content, the solution is flammable and should be kept away from flames and heat sources. Always consult your doctor if symptoms do not improve within a few days.
